[SML] Security: Active shooter

[Keith Newman]

Our school district follows the ALICE training program.  We had one meeting
on it two years ago with law enforcement officials when we initiated the
training. Live training and simulations were run with us practicing running
and distracting vs. hiding and barricading. Communication as to where the
shooter(s) is is key for people to effectively leave our building.  Yearly
training on video is mandatory for all of our staff members.  I don't know
what our administrator's schedule is to repeat the live action training.
When we first did our training, Columbine was the primary source that was
drawn upon as an example of what to not do. Sadly, there are many more real
cases out there to draw upon now of what to do or not do.

One of the major things that came about at the same time as our ALICE
training was an anti-bullying campaign and to make the school as inclusive
to as many students as possible and to try to make sure no one feels
ostracized.  Taking away the cause of some to go ballistic is a great way
to prevent having to put the ALICE training into practice.
