All threats to the safety of District facilities shall be identified by appropriate personnel and responded to promptly in accordance with the plan for emergency preparedness.
Each school shall conduct at least six (6) evacuation/fire drills, two (2) tornado drills and two (2) lock down drills each school year. At least four (4) of the fire drills shall occur in the fall.
The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines for the handling of emergency situations.
