To our fellow educators,
We are deeply saddened by the tragic and senseless killing of three students and their teacher in Toulouse, France this past week. In addition, we pray for the student fighting for his life and for all the families and others directly impacted by this horrible crime.
The Jewish Education Project has been in communication with the JCRC here in New York to help you develop a prudent and appropriate set of policies and practices to protect your students, staff and families.
We recommend that you log onto the JCRC blog: JCRC Security and Emergency Preparedness Blog and sign up for the security alerts.
In addition, if you go to their website: http://www.jcrcny.org/security you may sign up for the alerts there and find information and guidance about how to best prepare. The Jewish Education Project joins the JCRC in recommending that your school consider applying for a homeland security grant. Information regarding the grant can be found on the JCRC website above. The deadline for grants is April 16th.
If you need further assistance in this matter, feel free to call us at 646-472-5322 or to communicate directly with the JCRC as directed on their site.
May the bereaved be comforted and may there be peace and security for us all as we enter the Passover season.
Robert Sherman
Chief Executive Officer
