[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does each school have a plan now?  I never thought to ask really - they have the shooter lockdowns but what about these?[/quote]

What is the plan if a meteor hits? What is the plan if the killer bees finally get here? What if sharks grow legs and come onto land to attack? You should ask, PP[/quote]

Thanks for the snark, but it’s not a crazy question (and I’m not the PP). I remember in 2010 (?) back when there was a quick-moving and unexpectedly heavy snow storm. I managed to leave work early, had been on a bus when the bus driver announced he couldn’t make it up the incline on Wisconsin Ave. We all got off — I made it home an hour later because the snow was so bad by foot, but it was even worse by car. Some people were stuck in their cars for hours.

So no...it’s not a crazy question.

A good question to ask the school, but OP, also something to consider with your emergency pickup list.[/quote]

NP. The plan at my school varies based on the type of attack. In all honesty, they're all terrible plans. If it's something like 9/11 (not in our immediate vicinity and with no perceivable risk to us), then we just stay in our classrooms until parents arrive to pick up their kids. Chemical attack with possibility of affecting us: huddle in the auditorium, tape the doors and vents. Nuclear attack: see chemical attack. Any type of attack close to us: treat it like a school shooting and lock down the building. With little access to food (lunch needs to be prepared...no power=no food), we don't really have any long-term options. [/quote]
