KENNEBUNK — School administrators spent the days
following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School creating a plan
to best meet the needs of their school communities, and making plans to
revisit safety procedures.
RSU 21
Superintendent Andrew Dolloff kept in touch with the RSU 21 community
through the AlertNow system after a gunman forcefully entered the Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 students and six
adults last Friday, Dec. 14. Dolloff shared the sadness, anger and
confusion many are feeling after the horrific events, but at the same
time moved towards proactive and cautionary measures within the
district.
“We realize that this wasn’t in our community
that this happened, but it could have been and that’s what really brings
it home is that little children were murdered and families were torn
apart and it was in a community not far from here and not unlike our
community,” Dolloff said Monday.
Safety measures are in place for RSU 21 facilities to minimize the likelihood of a similar threat, Dolloff said, including a single point of entry, visual control from each school’s office, and a comprehensive crisis plan that involves drills for evacuations, lock-downs and other scenarios.
