1. Barricade Locks

Grand Blanc Schools of Michigan will be installing barricade locks for all classroom doors in the district according to ABC25 News. Teachers will be able to enforce the barricaded device in the event of an emergency lock down. This is an added measure that previously was not available in the event of an emergency lock down. They have already started installing them and plan to be finished by summer with 1400 barricaded locks installed across the school district.

2. Locked Doors

Now most school doors are locked during school periods and should you come to visit the school you need to be buzzed in and go directly to the office to state why you are there. In the office you must sign in and sign out as well.

3. Bullet Proof Sanctuaries

According to heritage.org there are bulletproof sanctuaries that can be put inside classrooms and can double as “story corners.” They further emphasize active drills in the event there is an active shooter. Many schools have already started their drills and perform them often.

4. Report What they Hear

According to psychologytoday.com it is important that students report to a teacher, counselor, or other school official if they hear students talking about guns or killing others. They further add that some schools have hotlines setup where students can report findings anonymously.
