During an evacuation, schools are legally responsible for accounting for and holding the children. |

I have two HS students and no way they’d stick around for this. They’d be at Panera or chipotle or on a public bus coming home. You just can’t expect 14-18 year olds go stand around for this sort of thing.
We had tons of bomb threats at my HS in the 80: because they were so easy to call in from pay phones. |
We need SROs to shoot at fleeing children to keep them on campus. |
| We desperately need another anti-racism audit to solve this problem. |
That's nice. But the kids have to cooperate for it to work. |
If the teachers did their jobs, it’s technically coded as kids skipping school. If they didn’t do their jobs, it’s dereliction of duty |
Sure, but the kids are still gone and they (kids and staff) really won't care about an unexcused absence. ES - yeah, corral them. MS, too. But HS? Be real. |
Do you have h.s. kids? My kid said when they evacuated to the field at her school, after an hour, groups of kids started getting in fights. It was chaos. Teachers were doing their best but come on. What would you do? The problem with these evacuations is there doesn't seem to be a real plan for food, bathrooms, keeping the peace, etc. |
My oldest is in MS. The teachers don’t have to keep the peace. They just need to take attendance and mark who didn’t remain. Those kids get marked as skipping by admin. |

This bomb threat was at 2:17 13 minutes before the end of the day. Going home at the end of the day is not "skipping school".
