"Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:41-1 (“Drill Law”), each public and nonpublic school must conduct at least one fire drill and one security drill each month during school hours." The classroom teachers reviewed the security and fire drill procedures with the students prior to our first drill this week. The security drills we conduct are lockdown, lockdown with instruction, and evacuation drills. We work closely with our Madison Police Department Student Resource Officers (SROs) Tom Downs and Vincent Galgano to ensure that the drills are in compliance with security drill best practices.
A fire drill is conducted monthly. The teachers review the fire drill procedures with the students at the beginning of every school year. We utilize a green/red card system to ensure that all students and staff members exit the KRS building safely.
Two bus drills are mandated as well.
