Cyber threats against schools have increased significantly and pose unique communication challenges. A survey found over 800 threats against schools from August to December 2014, with the majority being bomb threats made through social media. These threats can cause evacuations and negatively impact students and staff. School districts must have crisis communication plans to address cyber threats that involve working closely with law enforcement, prioritizing internal communication with staff, and consistently reassuring the community through various channels. The superintendent should be the regular visible leader providing reassurance during these situations.
