Practice Briefs

During an emergency lockdown, preventing a potential shooter from seeing and accessing individuals within a classroom is critical. Intruders are more likely to shoot when they see people, so remaining out of view and ensuring that access to the classroom is blocked can help keep individuals safe. When implementing classroom safety practices, schools have a responsibility not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or other protected classes when implementing school safety measures and policies.
