Questions & Answers
--------
So are students in school during these drills? In an elementary setting, is there is the side affect of scaring the children?
How do you address the drawbacks of Red/Green cards? This is the card that has notified the shooter that the room is occupied.
How often should the various drills be performed - fire, tornado, evacuation, or lock downs?
Is there a way to get a copy of the ERP book that was shown to use as a model?
What is the best way to get them out of the hallways if something does happen in between classes? When do teachers lock the door?
What is the best way to end a lockdown since you shouldn't use announcements or alarms?
If teachers are to ignore announcements, how do you let them know when the threat is gone? Can you use an announcement with a code green or some previously agreed code word?
How do you feel about having a staff member that is certified to can carry a concealed weapon?
