Last year we replaced all the locks in the school. All doors are locked except for the main doors. We also put in a PA system that would enable Code Red or Code Green to sound. Code Green means exit building. Code Red--lockdown. The wooden doors were replaced with steel doors that lock from the inside. All rooms have telephones in the rooms. The sheriff has a floor plan of each building showing rooms and exits. I guess it is a start. We have not practiced how to protect ourselves from an armed intruder into the classroom.

Our school had a lockdown drill; the students had a very hard time not laughing and talking. I think they would take it seriously if it was real, though.
