Why crisis preparedness is the smartest investment your school can make

In the world of independent schools, reputation is everything. Parents entrust you with their childrenʼs education, faculty choose your school as their professional home, and the broader community looks to you as a model of integrity and excellence.

But what happens when a crisis strikes: a head of schoolʼs sudden departure, a faculty memberʼs misconduct, a viral social media post about a student incident, or a parentʼs public complaint?

Too often, schools find themselves scrambling, cobbling together statements, and reacting without a plan. The result? Avoidable reputational damage, and a stressful experience for everyone involved.

But it doesnʼt have to be this way.

AI is Great for a lot of Things—Crisis Communications is Not One of Them

In just the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) programs like ChatGPT have become an invaluable tool in many aspects of education and school management.
