Board reviews school drill reports and building key-box access; DOJ reporting requirement noted
Summary
Board received Hilltop Elementary drill reports covering evacuation and playground drills and was reminded that annual drill reports are filed with the Department of Justice; staff also explained master key boxes at building entrances that grant police and fire access.
Board members reviewed school drill evaluation reports submitted by Hilltop Elementary covering general evacuation and off-playground drills.
A district staff member reminded the board that these drill reports are submitted annually to the Wisconsin Department of Justice by the end of the calendar year. During the discussion a board member asked whether doors have backup key locks or rely solely on electronic locks; a staff representative said most doors have backup key locks and noted that outside each building a small key box is mounted with a master key accessible to police and fire.
The board and staff discussed emergency access procedures briefly and confirmed that fire and police have a two-key system in a bottom box and that the key boxes are mounted near building entrances for rapid access.
No action was taken; the item was informational and part of routine safety and compliance reporting to state authorities.
