Lockdown
Lockdown or active shooter drill? The distinction matters for children’s safety and well‑being
Lockdown and active shooter simulations look and feel very different, though people often lump the two practices together.
Students are taught to hide in closets and under tables if there is a school shooting – but does practicing for this possibility keep kids safe?
Most states have some sort of requirement for a minimum number of lockdown drills a year, but there is no set federal guidance.
