A video was posted last week of a teacher from a Jefferson County school explaning that during their routine professional development which usually is about goings on in the school and handing out of supplies, the teachers were given new supplies.
The teachers were given buckets, kitty litter, toilet paper, a small tent and Sharpies. The idea behind it is for teachers to be prepared in the event of a lockdown, which means there is a threat in the school and teachers and student barricade themselves in the classrooms. This means using the bucket and kitty litter to create a makeshift toilet under the small tent. The Sharpie is in the event of a teacher needs to apply a tourniquet to a child and can then use the Sharpie to write what time it was applied for emergency services.
According to a video in Newsweek, in the last twenty years since the shooting at Columbine High School (also in Jefferson County), 762 people have been injured or killed in a school shooting.
