| So they went on lockdown to investigate a written threat? |

She definitely did leave! Myself and other parents watched her! You couldn’t miss her in that outfit. |

As a teacher (though elementary school) I think we are going to need to find some balance with the investigations and lockdowns. It's really traumatic for students to be locked in a classroom without knowing what is going on, unable to use the bathroom. A written threat doesn't necessarily seem to meet the threshold of lockdown to me. |

| My child needed to use the bathroom and the teacher told him to urinate into a water bottle |

That is exactly what is expected in a lockdown. SWAT teams are clearing one classroom at a time during an actual lockdown, and a kid out in the hallway could easily be mistaken for a threat. It’s terrifying for everyone. I’m sorry your child was there. |

| Kids write all kinds of things. Mostly pranks. Are we going into lockdown each time we find one of these? Scary! My young students will be traumatized. They already are scared when we do a drill. Can’t imagine how they would feel in an actual lockdown. |

| Well when a kid wrote a threat on a wall at Key, the parents said that should have resulted in a lockdown. At an elementary school. You can’t win. |

| Duran said recently that all schools and administrators had been trained on managing threats. Wondering, is this the standard procedure for handling written threats? Where can we find that info? |

| I’m sure the policies of handling a lockdown don’t include the principal abandoning the school |

Jesus the sexism in that comment. That would never be said about a man. |

If the man was wearing electric blue tights I am sure it would. |
