Lockdown Drill
Every school facility in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) has in place crisis management and emergency preparedness plans, designed with the help of the school system’s security planning staff, local law enforcement, and emergency management officials. Plans are regularly reviewed and updated. The plans include procedures to respond to critical incidents, like fire and tornadoes, and we practice these drills regularly.
In order to meet the requirements of the amended Code of Virginia 22.1-137.2, each school is required to conduct four lockdown drills every year. All schools will conduct two lockdown drills during the first 20 days of school - one of which must occur in September.Then two additional lockdown drills will be conducted during the remainder of the school year - one of which will occur in January.
A lockdown is a well-established procedure designed to protect students and staff members in a case in which there might be threats of violence within a school. During a lockdown, students remain in their classrooms or are escorted to classrooms if they are in the halls, and all interior and exterior doors are closed and locked. Once the facility is rendered safe and students are accounted for, the school is returned to normal operation.
While we have no reason to believe that any threat of violence will arise, it is always best to be prepared. It is important to train students and staff members so that we can effectively implement a lockdown in the event one becomes necessary. Training helps ensure a calmer, more effective lockdown.
To implement this training, our school's first lockdown drill is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, September 5, 2019.
