Common Language

Our response protocols are based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. It utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility. The premise is simple, there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a “Term of Art” and is then followed by a “Directive.” Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers, and first responders. The response actions are based on the following actions: Hold in Place, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
 
 

HOLD IN PLACE

  • There is a situation inside the hallway/building that requires the hallways to be clear
  • Staff and Students should stay in their classroom or area
  • Clear the hallways and remain in their area or room until an “All Clear” is announced
  • Learning continues as normal. An example of when this may be used is during a medical emergency
 
 
 

SECURE BUILDING

  • A hazard or danger exists outside of the school
  • Everyone is brought inside the building, the exterior doors should remain locked
  • No one is allowed in or out of the building
  • Learning continues as normal
 
 
 
 

LOCKDOWN / ALICE

  • An active threat exists inside the building. District 308 trains our staff and students on the principles of ALICE.
    • Alert: Initial alert of an emergency; tell people what is going on (call 9-1-1)
    • Lockdown: If evacuation is not a safe option, get behind a locked door and remain quiet
    • Inform: Communicate real time information on the intruders location
    • Counter: Create noise, movement, distance and distraction with the intent of reducing the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately. Counter is not fighting
    • Evacuate: When given real time information and it is safe to do so, get away from the danger
 
 

EVACUATE

  • Staff and students are moved to a safe location
  • An example of when this may be used is during an activated fire alarm
 
 
 

SHELTER

  • During a significant weather event, staff and students are trained to identify the hazard and the appropriate safety strategy
  • Move to the appropriate shelter area inside the building
  • Drop, cover, hold (earthquake)
  • Remain until the “All clear” is given
