[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discovery elementary went on lockdown but never told parents. Apparently Williamsburg right next-door never went on lockdown. WMS Kids were walking home (past discovery) while discovery was on lockdown. Makes no sense. [/quote]

APS shitshow. [/quote]

They weren’t on lockdown. They were on secure the school- very different. Class continues as normal when in secure the school, they just don’t let people in and out. Obviously they decided that the threat was removed enough that WMS could dismiss as normal. [/quote]

Wrong! They announced over the loudspeaker “this is not a drill”. Kids had to go sit along the walls of the room and could not talk. Kids were crying because some had phones and got texts/emails about siblings at Yorktown where the threat was. [/quote]

A lockdown can only be ended by police escorting each class out of the building- like they did at YHS today. It can’t end with another announcement- very clear in the yearly trainings school staff get on it. Sounds like the principal overreacted to a call to go into shelter in place.  Not saying the kids weren’t upset by it all- sounds like an admin screw up though.[/quote]
