Linscott Charter School Lockdown/Button-up

Linscott Charter School Lockdown procedures will be referred to as Button-up Procedures. The Linscott Charter School Administrative director/designee will order an Evacuation or a Button-up of the school campus if they determine the safety of students and staff is jeopardized.

A button-up will be identified as a "code blue", a ""code yellow" or a "code red", depending on how seriously safety is jeopardized.

Code blue - indicates minimal to moderate police activity
Code yellow- indicates moderate to heavy police activity
Code red - indicates it is clearly unsafe for anyone to be walking on school grounds (i.e.: there is actual gunfire on school grounds, or there is hazardous material in the air.)

Three short bells, rung in rapid succession, in combination with the following message will be used to initiate a Button-up of the Linscott Campus:

"Attention All Teachers and Staff!! Attention All Teachers and Staff!! Due to a school emergency we are initiating a code ______ (blue, yellow or red) Button-up. Please secure all classes until further notice. Mr. Stevens, please report to the (incident location). Mr. Stevens, please report to the (incident location)."
