OTSEGO LOCAL SCHOOLS
LEVEL
RED PROCEDURE
The safety of the school
environment where children and employees spend much of their day is a top
priority. Wood County School officials and Wood County Agencies have
reviewed safety plans in the case of a Threat Level Red being
declared by the United State Department of Homeland Security.
Should a Threat Level Red be announced:
Before school hours
A decision will be made concerning whether schools will be opened or
closed. IF SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED, all activities and events scheduled
for any district facility will be cancelled. Normal school
operations will remain closed until advised to re-open by the Wood County
Emergency Response Coalition.
During
school hours
School buildings will be secured and remain open until the regular
dismissal time unless otherwise directed by the Wood County Emergency
Response Coalition. All after-school activities and events will be
cancelled. Parents/guardians may pick up students at school during
the remainder of the day following normal sign out procedures at each
building. Proper identification will be required (e.g., drivers
license).
How can you help?
Please remain calm
Keep in mind that a Threat Level Red does not necessarily mean our area is
in imminent danger.
