Information is the key to good decisions Provide as much initial intel as possible to as many people as possible No more Code Words

We support LOCKDOWN as a tool Excellent Starting Point What is the first level of protection? Should already be “locked-in”! How can we better secure the classroom?

Continuation of the ALERT Provide Real-Time Information – HOW? Allows for Good Decision-Making

Teach skills that interrupt the physical and mental act of shooting accurately. Teach skills that will allow the targets to benefit from unknown tactical advantages!

Age and Grade appropriate techniques Students will learn to engage in acts that will require very high skill level: Noise Movement Distance Distractions SWARM Interfere with ability to easily acquire targets and shoot accurately?

Provide occupants with the ability and authority to evacuate Removes as many potential targets as possible Removes need for family/friends to come to scene Establish Rally Points
