There are many ways that intruder drills are executed. Administrators, faculty, and staff in school organizations develop safety plans that detail how to handle an intruder situation. When an intruder enters the building, how do you know the safety and location of all the individuals in the building? My school organization decided to develop a quick form that asks for the following information:
Teacher's Name
Status
*Clear
*Missing Student
*Additional Adult(s)
Additional Adult(s) Name(s)______________________
Missing Student(s) Name(s) and Location__________________________
Additional Student(s) Name(s)_____________________________
Teachers have access to this form on various devices and simply hit submit. Administrators are able to see immediate results and make decisions based on this information. As with anything, there are possible issues that could take place including technology issues. Alternatives are available. This is just one step of many to ensure the safety of our students.
