Principals Address Gun Violence

Founded in April 2019, the NASSP Principal Recovery Network is a national network of current and former school leaders who have experienced gun violence tragedies in their buildings. Together, the PRN seeks to assist principals in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and well beyond.

IT Crisis Preparedness

Hurricanes, wildfires, tornados and other natural disasters have recently impacted schools and communities, and these show the need for every district to have a preparedness plan that specifically addresses school building infrastructures and preserve system-wide networks. CoSN has a new guide that helps districts strategize to shut down and start up critical IT services.  

School Counselor Ratios

The American School Counselor Association recently analyzed student-to-school counselor ratios by state based on new data.  The national average is 455-to-1, an improvement over last year but still higher than ASCA's recommended ratio of 250-to-1.
