April 14 2017 lockdown
Notes:
  • State police and Officer Anderson helped out, which is appreciated. 
  • Most doors were locked correctly and students could not be seen. A few issues (below) that we'll address. 
  • One person was still teaching when checking doors. We will see if hearing the announcement was the issue. 
  • Some people were visible during door checks. I will speak with those folks. 
  • Some lights were on. Lights should be turned off. 
  • Locker rooms were an issue.  I'll work with Ken and Anne an how to address challenges. 
  • We missed unlocking a few rooms. 
Challenges:
  • Teachers have to lock from outside the door. This should be fixed with our new locks. 
  • Hearing the announcements are a challenge in the cafeterias, gym, weight room, and shops. 
  • Rest rooms can't be locked.  I'm not sure what we can do with that, but I'll check. 
Suggestions:
  • Assemblies to review with kids
  • Shove desks in front of door when you can’t lock. 
  • Announce when we're unlocking.  Some younger kids were quite nervous when Tim was opening the doors. 
  • Meet with maintenance staff
  • Have someone at door with delivery drivers. 
  • Keys for police. Give a set to state police.
