Policy 380 - Continuity of Organizational Operations Plan
Adopted on February 21, 2019
Effective February 21, 2019
The Continuity of Organizational Operations Plan (COOP) provides the County with the capability of conducting its essential operations under all threats and conditions with or without warning.
The primary objective of the COOP is to restore the County's critical operational functions and the learning environment as quickly as possible after a crisis or threat event has occurred. A COOP contains critical and sensitive information that is confidential and exempt from public disclosure.
The planning and development for continuity of organizational operations, as well as the ongoing review and revision of such, is important for the overall County and also for each school and department in the County.
The plan shall describes how the County will respond as a total organization to a given emergency and shall describe centralized resources and how they will be organized to implement command and control necessary to function during the life cycle of the event. Individual school and departmental plans shall contain the details related to the continuity plan for those specific sites and functional areas to prepare for an event, communicate throughout the duration of an event, assess the impact of an event on essential functions in the unit, respond to the event, and detail what will be done to recover from the event.
Preparation for, response to, and recovery from a disaster affecting administrative, educational, and support functions of the County's operations requires the cooperative efforts of external organizations, in partnership with the functional areas supporting the business of the County. This includes local government agencies, law enforcement, emergency management, medical services, and vendors necessary to County operations. The COOP shall outlines and coordinates all efforts by the County in cooperation with other local and State agencies and businesses to restore the essential functions of the County to the larger local community post-disaster.
The Superintendent shall develop and recommend the COOP for Board review and approval.
