[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes sense. There are several different types of drills that schools need to cover before an actual emergency arises. They are not covering the same drill over and over to meet the quota. There is a fire drill, a lockdown, a lockdown with options drill, an emergency weather drill, etc[/quote] I mostly agree - except elementary schools don't do "lockdown with options". Unless we're taking "anklebiters" to a new extreme.[/quote] We do two different versions of lockdown. Lockdown when they need the kids out of the hallways but there isn't a human danger. We do this if an ambulance is coming to protect the kid's privacy and make sure they can get to them quickly. We also do this before we move kids to a room without windows in a tornado warning. In theory, we'd do this for some kind of chemical release. There is also lockdown stay silent and hide. [/quote]
