Case Studies

Districts That Took Action

Real partnerships. Real exercises. Real readiness. See how districts across the country are moving from a plan on paper to a team that has actually done it.

Every district featured here completed at least one phase of school reunification training with The Reunification Foundation — from initial plan review and staff training through functional and full-scale exercises. Their experiences document what genuine reunification readiness looks like in practice.

Our Reach

Serving Schools Across the Nation and the World

The Reunification Foundation has partnered with school districts across 34 states to build genuine reunification capability — not just compliant documentation. Our training programs follow the Crawl, Walk, Run, Refresh methodology, moving each district from foundational awareness through tabletop exercises, functional exercises, and full-scale drills at their own pace.

The districts in these case studies represent every stage of that journey. Some came to us with strong plans that had never been tested. Some were starting from scratch. All of them left with a team that had experienced the reunification process before a real event required it.

Every case study documents the specific phases completed, the findings from after-action reviews, and the capability the district built. They are intended as a resource for any district evaluating where they are in their own reunification readiness — and what the path forward looks like.
