On Wednesday, October 1, the Lauderdale County Board of Education, in collaboration with various local and state agencies, will carry out an active shooter drill at Wilson School. This exercise is strategically planned to coincide with a professional development day for school employees, ensuring that no students will be on the premises during the event.
The primary objective of this drill is to enhance the preparedness of both school staff and emergency responders in the event of a real crisis. Officials have indicated that a reminder regarding the drill will be distributed on September 30, ensuring that all relevant parties are informed and ready for the training exercise.
