44. Lockdown codes
Following the "Beltway Sniper" terror spree schools here implemented a set of lockdown codes to protect the students. Code Blue is the second highest. Doors are closed and locked, students remain in the classroom and class continues. Code Red is the highest and is meant for Colombine-like or street gang-related situations where lives are in danger. Door and windows are locked and covered and the children all move to the front of the class room.

Students know very well what the codes mean. They've had a few Code Red drills, but it was always announced ahead of time that it was just a drill. This time they didn't even tell the teachers. I blame school administrators and DHS for this fiasco.
