Abstract | Crisis communication training of school principals is problematic because it overemphasizes media relations and underemphasizes the critical importance of immediate and personal communication with students, staff, and parents--those most affected by school crises. A case study involving the death of a student in a small rural school explains why insider-first communication should be principals' first priority during an emergency. It describes how the approach was successfully used and how it increased public confidence in the crisis management abilities of a principal and his staff. Analysis of the case provides several important lessons for principals who face similar circumstances: Be proactive and take charge of communication; communicate first and personally with those most affected by a crisis; speak through the media with one voice; seek the advice and expertise of others; adapt communication plans as necessary; manage public perception from the inside out; and learn from mistakes.
