[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think doing this in the moment makes any sense. Some parents would panic and try to come pick up their kids possibly endangering others to do so. Parents calling and pressing the doorbell in a lockdown would take staffs focus off keeping kids safe. No one should be coming in/out in a lockdown besides police/school security.[/quote] I see both sides of this issue. How long did this lockdown last? I could see chaos if parents were notified as soon as it started--before police and first responders were able to form a response. However, once a response is staged, I would think parents should be notified. Kids are already making phone calls and news media would be on site. Parents need to know. Those who work in the city might want to head home. FWIW, I went to a school that had many bomb threats (many years ago). I doubt anyone was ever notified except for the police and fire dept.[/quote]
