SCHOOL SAFETY DRILL ACT
By Mary Gricus
Safe to Learn: School Safety Drill Act
The School Safety Drill Act
establishes minimum requirements and standards for schools to
follow when conducting safety drills and reviewing school emergency
and crisis response plans. The Act also encourages schools and
first responders to work together for the safety of children.
District 113A’s safety and emergency plans have been developed in
collaboration with local fire and law enforcement officials, and
all plans and procedures are reviewed and modified (as needed) on
an annual basis. While we continue to practice safe procedures for
fire evacuation and severe weather, we also explain and practice
ways for students and staff to keep themselves safe during a
violent situation through drills and discussions with our police
liaison officer. When safety experts, families and educators work
together, we can better ensure that our students remain safe to
learn in our schools. Thank you for your partnership and
support.
