Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) announced its new security protocol “to effectively and efficiently respond to emergency and crisis situations.”
There are now five directives – Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter.
Previously, when there was an emergency, schools went into shelter in place or lock down. Shelter was the description given for a broad range of issues including weather, medical emergency or police activity.
Hold now means all hallways must be kept clear. Secure will be used for external threats, including police activity nearby. In that case, everyone will be brought into the school, and the doors will be locked, but normal school activities will continue, according to information on the MCPS website...
