GREEN COVE SPRINGS— Clay County Schools Superintendent David Broskie said his district ran through plans to reunite students and parents in the event of a school shooting or other incidents.
The superintendent was joined by Sheriff Michelle Cook, Clay County Deputy Emergency Management Director Mike Ladd and other law enforcement officials in an Aug. 1 news conference following the planning session.
Cook said that in the event of a school incident, officials would choose between three options for reuniting parents and students.
The first choice is identical to parent pickup used every day at campuses.
“That is for an incident that is isolated; there’s no further threat,” she said. “Parents know their pickup lines. They know where to get the kids, so we’ll just fall back to a Level 1.”
The second option is like the daily parent pickup routine, but at a different location on the campus.
“Maybe we can’t use the pickup line (area) because emergency vehicles are blocking that,” she said, “but we’re going to have a location at the school where we can do a modified parent pickup.”
Cook said the third choice would be used for a catastrophic or ongoing event, where students and parents must reunite off campus.
