Using thematic iterative analysis, this research specifically explores the moments when the school district was still in crisis but also attempting to return to a state of normalcy. The analysis and findings yield practical recommendations for organizations that must balance stakeholder tensions, especially during repetitive crises.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
