Emergency Drills and Actions
NYS Education Law ยง807 requires Starpoint to conduct four lockdown and eight evacuation drills each school year. Below are emergency response actions and descriptions for your information. We will always keep in contact with you if there is an actual emergency. We know that hearing some of these responses can cause anxiety at times so we want to be as transparent as possible with examples (many actions can include more than the example listed).
- Hold in Place/Shelter in Place: Used to limit movement of students while dealing with short term emergencies. Example- A staff member has a medical emergency or a student needs to be transported through the hallway.
- Evacuate: Used to evacuate students and staff from the building. Example- there is a fire inside of the building.
- Lockout: Used to secure school buildings during incidents that post an imminent concern outside of the school. Example- there is an emergency in the outside community.
- Lockdown: Used to secure school buildings and grounds during incidents that pose an immediate threat of violence in or around the school. Example- There is someone with a weapon trying to enter the school..
