It's Back to School. Are You Crisis-Ready?
The Jane Group can help get your school crisis-ready.

Time is ticking. Here are 5 ways The Jane Group can get you crisis-ready for the new school year:

1. Your Experts on Call - No Retainer Required

The Jane Group, with offices in Boston and Chicago, is the only crisis management firm that works exclusively with independent schools and education associations. Unlike many PR firms, we never require a retainer as part of the engagement; you simply pay an hourly rate. The firm is on the approved list for a number of insurance companies including United Educators and Philadelphia Insurance.

2. Crisis and Strategic Communications

Over the past 25 years, The Jane Group has worked on thousands of cases providing crisis and strategic communications ranging from a single session to ongoing and on-site support. 

3. Head and Board Crisis Management Counsel

The Jane Group advises school heads and board leadership on management and governance best practices and reputation assessment. The firm works closely with many school attorneys as the challenges can have legal implications. The “Role of the Board in a Crisis” workshop is one of our most sought after sessions.

4. Media Strategy

Crisis management requires handling media and social media challenges. We know how to help you and have a senior consultant who was president of a global PR firm and a former journalist. We also have a social media expert who can monitor the social media discussions about your school and provide timely and in-depth reports to guide further communications.

5. Workshops & Training

The Jane Group offers on-site workshops and training for boards, admin teams, faculty and staff. Our workshops offer tools, techniques and training to prepare for different scenarios. We use real (anonymized) case studies to offer participants a clear understanding of crisis management principles and strategy.
