William B. Gibbs, Jr. Elementary School 2012-2013 Lockdown and Shelter Procedures Shelter This is a term used to alert staff that an emergency/crisis exists at or near an MCPS facility. It requires all students to be accounted for and under supervision. Administrators may activate the On-Site Emergency Team (OSET) and set up a command post when appropriate. There are 3 types of shelter. They are public safety, severe weather and outside hazardous materials. In severe weather shelter, we bring the students inside as quickly as possible. For outside hazardous materials, windows cannot be opened and doors are shut and locked. For these and for the public safety shelter, classroom instruction continues inside the building with controlled class change, which means staff should supervise students in the hallways and between relocatable classroom (if and when we have them) and the main building. School lunch should continue with appropriate supervision of staff. It is recommended that schools secure exterior doors today. When exterior doors are locked, schools should post staff/OSET member at the front door and the door of the main building leading to the relocatable classrooms to allow appropriate movement in and out of the school. Teachers are allowed to open windows to ensure ventilation. In a Shelter, it is not necessary to bring students in to the main building from the relocatable classrooms (if and when we have them). Lockdown Lockdown is defined as an alert status indicating imminent danger exists to all staff and students. During a Lockdown, staff and students must remain within their locked classroom or within a secured area. If students are in the hallways, they must quickly move to the nearest classroom or to a secure area, remain quiet and follow staff instructions. Staff should secure their immediate area and account for students. Students should also be kept away from doors and windows. Window and door blinds will be drawn down, and lights should be turned off. Fire Drills Exit according to the emergency exits signs in each room. Follow directions of the staff members. Under no circumstances re-enter the building until the drill is complete. .

Effect of Fireworks, Chinese New Year and the COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollution and Public Attitudes
Special Issue on COVID-19 Aerosol Drivers, Impacts and Mitigation (VII) Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 20: 2318–2331, 2020 ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online Publisher: Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research https://doi.org/10.4209/aaqr.2020.06.0299 Effect of Fireworks, Chinese New Year and the COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollution and Public Attitudes Peter Brimblecombe1,2, Yonghang Lai3* 1 Department of Marine Environment and Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 2 Aerosol Science Research Center, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 3 School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong ABSTRACT Concentrations of primary air pollutants are driven by emissions and weather patterns, which control their production and dispersion. The early months of the year see the celebratory use of fireworks, a week-long public holiday in China, but in 2020 overlapped in Hubei Province with lockdowns, some of > 70 days duration. The urban lockdowns enforced to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic give a chance to explore the effect of rapid changes in societal activities on air pollution, with a public willing to leave views on social media and show a continuing concern about the return of pollution problems after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Fireworks typically give rise to sharp peaks in PM2.5 concentrations, though the magnitude of these peaks in both Wuhan and Beijing has decreased under tighter regulation in recent years, along with general reductions in pollutant emissions. Firework smoke is now most evident in smaller outlying cities and towns. The holiday effect, a reduction in pollutant concentrations when normal work activities are curtailed, is only apparent for NO2 in the holiday week in Wuhan (2015–2020), but not Beijing.

Policy Bulletin BUL-5469.2 Page 1 of 5 June 26, 2014 Office of The
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Policy Bulletin TITLE: Lockdown And Rapid Relocation Procedures For All ROUTING Schools All Schools and Offices NUMBER: BUL-5469.2 ISSUER: Michelle King, Senior Deputy Superintendent School Operations Office of the Superintendent Earl R. Perkins Assistant Superintendent School Operations Office of the Superintendent DATE: June 26, 2014 POLICY: The Los Angeles Unified School District is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for its students. When an event on or near a campus occurs that requires the school to initiate a lockdown, school site administrators are to follow the guidelines in this Bulletin. MAJOR This Bulletin replaces BUL-5469.1 dated February 13, 2013, issued by the Office of CHANGES the Superintendent, and includes procedures for Rapid Relocation during an “Active Shooter” incident. GUIDELINES: The following guidelines apply: A lockdown may be initiated by the Los Angeles School Police Department (LASPD), local law enforcement, or the school principal/designee when gunfire or a threat of violence is identified and it is necessary to shield students from gunfire or prevent the perpetrator(s) from entering any occupied campus areas. NOTE: During a lockdown due to an “Active Shooter” incident on campus, procedures delineated in Attachment B of this bulletin shall be followed if a “Rapid Relocation” is initiated. I. When a school initiates a lockdown, the following procedures will occur: A. The principal/designee will initiate the Incident Command System (ICS) as defined for that school in the Safe School Plan, Volume 2, Emergency Procedures, Section 2.0. The principal/designee becomes the School Incident Commander (School IC) and directs the students and staff to go into lockdown via the school intercom system, using the term “lockdown.” Do not use special codes, as they are not universally understood.

Respondus Lockdown Browser & Monitor Remote Proctoring Is Available, but Not Recommended. Please Consider Alternative Assess
Respondus Lockdown Browser & Monitor Remote proctoring is available, but not recommended. Please consider alternative assessment strategies. If you absolutely cannot use alternatives, and want to move forward using Respondus Lockdown Browser, here are some aspects to consider to minimize the impact to your students: Definitions: • Respondus Lockdown Browser is an internet browser downloaded and installed by students, which locks down the computer on which they are taking the test so that students cannot open other applications or web pages. Lockdown Browser does not monitor or record student activity. • Respondus Monitor is an instructor-enabled feature of Respondus Lockdown Browser, which uses the students’ webcams to record video and audio of the exam environment. It also records the students’ computer screens. Instructors can view these recordings after the exam session is over. Considerations: • If Respondus Monitor is enabled, students must have a webcam to take the test. Be aware that many of your students may not have access to a webcam. You will need to offer an alternative assessment for students who do not have a webcam. o Students may not be asked to purchase a webcam for these exams, unless one was required as an initial expectation for the course. Requiring the purchase of additional materials not specified in the class description or original syllabus opens up a host of concerns, including but not limited to: student financial aid and ability to pay, grade appeals, and departmental policies. • Both Respondus Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor require a Windows or Mac computer. iPads require a specialized app, and are not recommended.

Fight, Flight Or Lockdown Edited
Fight, Flight or Lockdown: Dorn & Satterly 1 Fight, Flight or Lockdown - Teaching Students and Staff to Attack Active Shooters could Result in Decreased Casualties or Needless Deaths By Michael S. Dorn and Stephen Satterly, Jr., Safe Havens International. Since the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, there has been considerable interest in an alternative approach to the traditional lockdown for campus shooting situations. These efforts have focused on incidents defined by the United States Department of Education and the United States Secret Service as targeted acts of violence which are also commonly referred to as active shooter situations. This interest has been driven by a variety of factors including: • Incidents where victims were trapped by an active shooter • A lack of lockable doors for many classrooms in institutions of higher learning. • The successful use of distraction techniques by law enforcement and military tactical personnel. • A desire to see if improvements can be made on established approaches. • Learning spaces in many campus buildings that do not offer suitable lockable areas for the number of students and staff normally in the area. We think that the discussion of this topic and these challenges is generally a healthy one. New approaches that involve students and staff being trained to attack active shooters have been developed and have been taught in grades ranging from kindergarten to post secondary level. There are however, concerns about these approaches that have not, thus far, been satisfactorily addressed resulting in a hot debate about these concepts. We feel that caution and further development of these concepts is prudent. Developing trend in active shooter response training The relatively new trend in the area of planning and training for active shooter response for K-20 schools has been implemented in schools.

Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell
Anonymous 1 Anonymous Sydney Brown English 120 4 April 2010 Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell As residents of Wuhan, China, my family and I are living in hell. The city has been locked down for more than a month. Every night before falling asleep I have been confronted by an unreal feeling and many questions: I know that coronavirus is the reason for the lockdown, but did life in Wuhan have to become a living hell? Why were we notified about the city lockdown at 2 a.m. on the second to last morning before the Lunar New Year? Why have I not been given any instructions from a government officer about how to cope when an entire city is on lockdown? Why do I feel so afraid? I'm nearly 30 years old, and my family members and I have devoted ourselves to our jobs to build a better life and we have largely succeeded. There's only a little more to do before we reach the level of middle class. But along the way, things did not go exactly as I'd hoped. I have been working hard in school since I was small. My dream was to become a journalist, and I passed the test to enter the best school for journalism in China. After school, I learned that government supervision of the media meant that telling the truth was not an option, so I gave up my dream and turned to another career. I kept telling myself that my hard work would Anonymous 2 reward me in my personal life.

The Lockdown
TEACHING TEACHING The New Jim Crow TOLERANCE LESSON 6 A PROJECT OF THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TOLERANCE.ORG THE NEW JIM CROW by Michelle Alexander CHAPTER 2 The Lockdown We may think we know how the criminal justice system works. Television is overloaded with fictional dramas about police, crime, and prosecutors—shows such as Law & Order. A charismatic police officer, investigator, or prosecutor struggles with his own demons while heroically trying to solve a horrible crime. He ultimately achieves a personal and moral victory by finding the bad guy and throwing him in jail. That is the made-for-TV ver- sion of the criminal justice system. It perpetuates the myth that the primary function of the system is to keep our streets safe and our homes secure by BOOK rooting out dangerous criminals and punishing them. EXCERPT Those who have been swept within the criminal justice system know that the way the system actually works bears little resemblance to what happens on television or in movies. Full-blown trials of guilt or innocence rarely occur; many people never even meet with an attorney; witnesses are routinely paid and coerced by the government; police regularly stop and search people for no reason whatso- ever; penalties for many crimes are so severe that innocent people plead guilty, accepting plea bargains to avoid harsh mandatory sentences; and children, even as young as fourteen, are sent to adult prisons. In this chapter, we shall see how the system of mass incarceration actually works. Our focus is the War on Drugs. The reason is simple: Convictions for drug offenses are the single most Abridged excerpt important cause of the explosion in incarceration rates in the United States.
