    Bunki,
    We are also dealing with the procedure to lock down and secure the entire
    building. We call it a "Code Red" and we are in the beginning stages of
    discussing how it will work, how we will talk to students about it and how
    we will practice it. It is very similar to your procedure, although we are
    not supposed to use the phone unless we have seen the "shooter" or the
    suspect; otherwise the phone lines could become inoperable with too many
    people using them. We had a scare a couple of months ago when someone heard
    a shot close to the school. The office announced our code word ( the kids
    didn't know anything then) and we turned off lights, closed shades, locked
    doors etc. I was really frightened. It was such an eerie thing. Turned
    out to be a hunter in the woods across the street. I am not looking forward
    to these drills or discussing this with students, but sadly, it is something
    that must be addressed.
