Emergency plans in place at DACC, Parkland
CHAMPAIGN – Parkland College administrators, faculty and staff will be able to participate in an online seminar Tuesday to address how things have changed for campus security and for faculty since the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University shootings, how to balance student privacy and intervention, and how to communicate with students and the community in an emergency.
The college has had a disaster plan and response team for several years. But since the campus shootings of the last year, Parkland officials are again considering how they should respond in an emergency, or if a student's behavior raises concerns, said John Sheahan, a counselor at Parkland's Counseling and Advising Center.
