From Columbia High School today:
This afternoon, CHS is conducting a state-mandated Code Red drill. CHS,
as always, appreciates the professionalism and support of Maplewood and
South Orange Police. During a Code Red drill, CHS staff works with the
police, school security, and other staff to go into complete lockdown
and clear rooms for safety in small teams. While this does take time, it
also allows the school staff to fully practice lockdown procedures and
identify any areas of improvement in school safety procedures. Please
discuss this drill with your student and follow up with the CHS
administrative team should you have any questions.
