Reunification drill

Lincoln Public Schools on Oct. 15 held its third training exercise in the last four years of what’s called a reunification process, another step that LPS takes to ensure the safety of students and staff in case of an emergency. Reunification would occur after students and staff evacuate their building, walk to their school’s designated relocation site, but are unable to return to school because of continued safety concerns - for example, a gas leak or a fire. At that point, they would be bussed to another safe, alternative site, where parents could pick up their children.
