The Lewiston School District administration met in late August to address security concerns due to the bomb threats that occurred in Spring of 2016.
According to LHS principal Kevin Driskill, in the meetings “we found out that we did most things right.”
This school year the high school staff members are set to follow a new emergency program called SRP, Standard Response Protocol.
“It’s not new protocol, it’s just a new name and a new company,” Driskill replied when asked about the way SRP would affect students.
During the May 13 evacuation of LHS, students, including current junior, Maddy Bricker, voiced their concerns over the backpack policy during the evacuation.
“They didn’t even check backpacks, and put us all in one building,” said Bricker.
When asked about how SRP would effect these policies, Driskill replied, “It depends on the situation, but we will most likely follow the SRP protocol” to leave backpacks behind.
