Abstract	This study determined the school administrators’ decision-making, leadership styles, and stakeholders’ engagement in the implementation of Education in Emergencies (EiE) in public schools in the Schools Division of Iloilo, Philippines, during the school year 2025–2026. It employed a descriptive-correlational research design involving 181 randomly selected public school administrators. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson product-moment correlation at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that the respondents were predominantly female, Bachelor’s degree holders, assigned to medium-sized and non-central schools, and had long teaching experience. School administrators demonstrated a very high level of decision-making in the implementation of EiE, with an overall mean of 4.26. Leadership styles were assessed from satisfactory to very effective, with mean ratings ranging from 1.52 to 1.74. Stakeholders’ engagement was very high across the different respondent classifications, with means ranging from 4.30 to 4.38. Decision-making did not significantly differ when respondents were classified according to sex, educational attainment, school size, type of school, and teaching experience. Leadership styles showed significant differences according to educational attainment, school size, and teaching experience, but not according to sex and school type. Stakeholders’ engagement did not significantly differ across any of the classifications. Furthermore, no significant relationships were found among decision-making, leadership styles, and stakeholders’ engagement. The findings indicate that school administrators demonstrated strong decision-making and stakeholder engagement in implementing EiE, while leadership styles varied according to selected professional and institutional characteristics. The study provides a basis for strengthening crisis-responsive leadership, decision-making practices, and stakeholder participation in ensuring educational continuity during emergencies.
