Introduction
The following information will analyze the case “From Rookie to Reality” in regards to Standard 4 of the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards: collaborating with families and community members, responding to diverse community interests and needs, and mobilizing community resources.

If this event turns into a police matter, then the district should work in conjunction with the local authorities to release a combined press release with all relevant factual information. Unfortunately, in today’s age and social media, word travels fast and parents will know before the principal contacts all district stakeholders.
Bomb Threat Safety
It is the belief of the author that administrators should not have bomb threat safety training. Administrators should be trained in how to react in crisis situations, but trained professionals need to deal with bombs. This would be the same scenario if an active shooter. Administrators do not carry weapons to defend the school but mobilize resources and train staff to respond to crisis situations.

If all staff members are trained on this procedure, they might understand their role when responding to a crisis

Superintendent Elliott made some errors in this situation. A couple of the errors were responding to the parent complaint without referring him to the proper level and failing to listen to the principal. The complaint that was made by the parent is something that should have been handled by the building principal. Instead of trying to take care of the situation himself the superintendent he should have led the parent to the correct building level channel first to come to allow them the chance to come to a solution.

Mixed evaluations have been found in association with security officers, while some benefits reportedly transpire, experiences of disparaging consequences remain a regrettable reality as well (Crawford and Burns 2016). Additionally, active shooter drills routinely occur at schools across the nation, however, as Jillian Peterson and James Densley report in their CNN article titled, “The Usual Approach to School Security Isn’t Working,” studies indicate that

Unlike professional shooters, teachers must undergo a series of training in order to obtain a gun. Without the proper protection and training, which was not included in the resolution, would guarantee that the weapons would fall under the wrong hands of the students.
