I am Roger Brooks, Emergency Manager for Granite School District. Over the last two years we have made some very positive changes to the way the district responds to emergencies, and increased student and staff safety in the process. We have introduced a new district Emergency Operations Plan, a district Reunification Plan, have increased security at many school locations with cameras and vestibule entries, and have recently added a new emergency communications platform, all to increase student and staff safety. I think this idea of changing the way we do our Lockdown drills is an excellent idea and is a logical next step in the progression of increased safety measures. I would love to hear more from you Sav on your ideas for this type of drill, as well as from any other students that would like to share what you think these drills should look like. Please feel free to respond to this post or you can email me directly at rabrooks@graniteschools.org.
