How do the first responders feel about your cell phone policies? Curious since guidelines from Homeland Security and FBI for Active Shooter situations urge calling 911 if it is safe to do so and reporting locations, or, if you cannot speak (or don’t feel it’s safe to do so) to just leave the line open. You have effectively removed your students ability to reach out in an emergency situation. Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
