Summary
School-by-school drill logs in the Oct. 14 packet record September fire, lockdown and tornado drills at Dogwood Hill, Heights, Manito, Valley Middle School and T.O.P.S., and list emergency bus-drill dates in late September and October 2025.
The Oct. 14, 2025 board packet for the Oakland Public School District includes a monthly drill record documenting school safety drills conducted in September 2025 and scheduled emergency bus drills in late September and October.
Recorded entries include Dogwood Hill School: a fire drill on 09/09/25 at 2:41 AM (3 minutes; 73 participants) and a lockdown on 9/17/2025 at 10:23 AM (5 minutes). Heights documented a 2:22 fire drill on 09/08/25 and a 2:10 lockdown on 9/22/2025. Manito logged a 64-second fire drill (09/05/25) and a 6-minute lockdown on 9/17/2025; Valley Middle School reported a 2:42 fire drill (09/04/25) and a 2-minute lockdown entry on 9/25/2025. T.O.P.S. preschool entries record tornado drills and evacuations on 9/8/2025 and 9/11/25 for AM and PM sessions.
The packet also lists emergency bus drills conducted at multiple sites and dates: Valley Middle School (Oct. 1, 2025), Heights (Sept. 26, 2025), Manito (Sept. 30, 2025), T.O.P.S. (Sept. 29, 2025) and Dogwood Hill (Sept. 29, 2025), with supervising staff named for each drill. The materials note that some drills were conducted by staff per facility regulations (the packet notes a drill conducted by Mr. Desiderio). The updated emergency-team rosters (Crisis, Threat Assessment, AED teams) appear in the same packet and are marked 'Revised 10/14/2025.'
The packet presents these drill logs and the roster as documentation; it does not include narrative statements about drill performance metrics, corrective actions or follow-up reports in the supplied pages.
