It is back to class for students in several mid-state counties and back to the drawing board for area principals looking to beef up school security.
Principals have been asked to re-visit their school’s crisis and emergency response plan. In doing so on existing policy has now come into question. According to the Tennessean many teachers across the mid-state are concerned about a rule that requires classrooms to remain unlocked. This was originally put in place as a precautionary measure to keep people from locking themselves inside. But this policy is not fool-proof from any kind of perceived “outside threat” like what we saw at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month.
These issues in particular and policy change considerations have been circulating in an email around to teachers, administration and staff in the Metro Nashville area.
It is just one of the issues being discussed as school districts across the country re-visit school safety and security issues.
