NYC teachers get little to no training on lockdown drills
When Mohammad Jehad Ahmad began teaching almost six years ago, he wasn’t familiar with lockdown drills.
“I was under the impression that a lockdown drill just meant to lock the door,” the Bronx high school math teacher said. “So in my first year doing it, I would lock the door and keep teaching.”
It wasn’t until a school administrator noticed what Ahmad was doing that he received any instruction about how to conduct a lockdown drill.
