Case Study Turbulence

I would think the turbulence level for Dr. Connelly and Mrs. Wong to be severe. They know come the following day there would be talk about how the school district had turned away students from entering or staying in the building due to a lack of immunizations. Though the elementary only had 11 of the 30 students that originally were missing immunizations, the fact that students wouldn’t be able to stay in school may cause a crisis with the school and students families. I would believe to positionality that Dr. Connelly would feel more turbulence since they are the school principle in comparison to the school nurse. Dr. Connelly feel responsible due to students still missing their immunizations, but also feel the parents of the 11 students
are also responsible for not providing the documentation of the student’s immunizations.
What are the factors responsible for determining the district’s level of turbulence on May 1st? What more could Mr. Stahley do on April 30th to decrease the potential turbulence the following day? What more could the state do to decrease the level of turbulence for May 1st? What possibilities do you see for cascading in this case? The factors responsible for determining the district’s level of turbulence depends on how many student’s parents had their children immunized by the deadline for May 1st.
If there is a drastic number of students that received their immunizations by April 30th, then the turbulence level won’t be as high. If all 300 students that arrive at school on May 1st without documentation of their immunizations, then there can be a high level of turbulence that may cause a crisis within the district. I believe Mr. Stahley did an adequate job at informing the families of the immunizations through regular communication and reported what was given through nurse’s accounts of the student’s medical to the state. Possibly more frequent communication to the families may have decreased the number of students that were missing immunizations by May 1st. The state provided two days of free clinic services to the families to receive the student’s immunizations so they would be in compliance with the state and school district. The state could have decreased the turbulence by having regular communication at their level at the beginning of the school year. In addition, possibly once or twice a month offering the free clinic services to the families for more time and availability, instead of two dates at the end of the probationary phase. Possibilities cascading from this situation is parents complaining and or suing the school district and state due to feeling forced to provide their children with immunizations, even if they don’t agree with state
law.
