19. Final Thoughts
Schools are encouraged not to conduct drills until receipt of policy packet
Drills must be coordinated with emergency management coordinators and emergency responders
Drills conducted without coordination of emergency managers and emergency responders will not be considered complete under this legislation
Only one drill will be required for this school year ( ) because of late receipt of policy packet
Beginning September 2007, two drills will be required
