My former school district ran a Code Z drill once a year, in the event of an intruder in the school building. It basically instructed staff to lock each classroom door, move students to a part of the classroom away from the door, wait for further instructions via the intercom. Should an intruder have been able to gain access to a classroom, I would have been tasked with defending my students and myself with a fistful of dry board markers and two dozen tattered copies of "Catcher in the Rye". The Code Z plan was woefully reliant on taking cover and anxiously awaiting for first responders to get on scene to identify and neutralize the threat. It was a rather unrealistic safety plan in my opinion.
