District schedules staff training and April 22 reunification drill after lockdown exercise
Summary
Administrators reported multiple drills completed (fire, tornado, bus evacuation, lockdown), scheduled staff training Jan. 28 and district reunification drill on April 22 with law enforcement, EMS and the Office of Homeland Security participating; parents will be invited and may opt out.
Chair (speaker 1) and staff summarized recent safety exercises — "We are 2 fire drills, 1 tornado drill, 1 bus evacuation, and now after today, 1 lockdown drill" — and described next steps for training and a parent-inclusive reunification exercise. The chair said staff will hold an in-service training (Jan. 28) and run a reunification drill during the school day on April 22 that will involve EMS, fire department, clergy and will be observed by the Office of Homeland Security.
The chair emphasized staff learning and iterative improvement: lessons from drills often prompt more questions than answers but help refine procedures. Parents will be invited to participate in the April event and may opt out if they do not wish to participate; staff will front-load communication to families ahead of the exercise.
