Background
|
Almost a year ago, the DuPage County State’s Attorney and the DuPage County Regional Superintendent of Schools initiated the development of a crisis response intergovernmental agreement (IGA). Under the IGA, DuPage County school districts and cooperatives would make their staff, facilities and equipment resources available to each other on a voluntary basis in natural disaster and violence crisis situations which exceeded the capacity of the district or cooperative in crisis to effectively handle on its own. The IGA being presented for Board approval represents the work of the staffs of the State’s Attorney and the Regional Superintendent and many DuPage superintendents and their staffs and legal advisors.
The IGA is entitled “Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Mutual Assistance in Response to Crises in the Public Schools of DuPage County”. The IGA provides for the development and implementation of crisis management training and response programs, with several key elements:
• The initial cost of participation is $250 per school year with a cap of $400 per year.
• A participant’s decision to provide assistance in response to a request from another participant is discretionary and voluntary on a case-by-case basis.
• The IGA will be administered by the Regional Superintendent, with assistance from an advisory panel of superintendents and the State’s Attorney’s office, at no cost to the participants except for the annual fee.
• Each participant will provide its own insurance and will be responsible for the cost of its staff, facilities and equipment involved in providing assistance, but will not be liable to other participants.
• Withdrawal from the IGA is permitted on at least 60 days’ notice effective at the end of any school year.
• The IGA does not replace or limit a participant’s crisis management agreements with local police, fire or other agencies.
• A participant’s staff members are not permitted to act as first responders.
• The IGA will become effective when at least 10 Boards of Education/Cooperatives approve the IGA.
