Daniel Hand High School Practices Lockdown Drill

A practice lockdown drill was held at Daniel Hand High School Wednesday morning. Officials said the drill was announced before it began, and officials added that it was a success and classes have resumed.

Superintendent of Schools Thomas Scarice said by law school officials are required to hold a fire drill every month, but can substitute it for a number of different type of drills to ensure a level of safety in the schools.

He said officials can specifically practice health incidents, or more serious outside threats.

“Were will 1,200 kids go?” Scarice said of the need to practice the drills.
