Alamogordo Public Schools utilizes 3 crisis commands district-wide.
Below is a simple chart that describes the actions and examples of when that command is utilized. ๐
During the first four weeks of school, each school conducts a drill each week, including a shelter-in-place drill that includes preparations to respond to an active shooter (lockdown), an evacuation drill, and a fire drill.
