On Thursday, April 5, 2018 Clinton High School will be conducting an Evacuation Drill. The drill is used as best practice when dealing with an active shooter crisis. Read more – for the complete statement from CHS JR Kuch.
CCSD administration officials feels it is necessary to review procedures with students in these situations. CCSD administration officials have worked in concert with Clinton’s emergency management, police and fire departments to ensure a safe and orderly drill as all entities will be present during the drill.
During the drill, CHS administration will be sharing potential movements of the fake active shooter as that person is in the halls. It is important to point out, the person will not have any weapons, but will be impersonating an active shooter. CHS administration will be reading from a script that will clearly indicate, “This is a drill, this is a drill.”
Teachers at Clinton High have been reviewing procedures with students in preparation for this event. Teachers will be leading students out of the building in an orderly fashion to one of two evacuation points, Jefferson Elementary or Bluff Elementary. While there, students and teachers will wait for an all clear from the building, then walk back to the school to resume a normal school day. Upon re-entry students and staff will evaluate the drill and provide feedback.
The goal of this day is to educate Clinton High School students on appropriate action steps in case of emergency.
