Salida Schools Hosts Local First Responders for Active Shooter Training on 7/10
The Salida School District Board of Education will not be holding their normal monthly meeting for the month of July 2024.
Salida Schools Host Local First Responders for Active Shooter Training on 7/10
Local First Responders will conduct a multi-agency active shooter training at Salida High School on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. The community should expect to see an increased number of emergency vehicles and first responders in the area before and during the drill.
The training exercise will focus on coordinated emergency response to an active shooter on campus and is being organized by the Salida Police Department in collaboration with other agencies including Salida Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Colorado State Patrol (CSP), Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), and Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office.
Jones Avenue, New Street, and State Streets will be closed in preparation for and during the drill.
No students will be involved in the drill. Some school district personnel will be on hand to observe, but will not participate in the drill. Because of the sensitive and tactical nature of the activities, the training is also closed to the general public and any media presence.
As part of the ongoing efforts of the school district and first responders to student safety, the drill aligns with the protocols of the Emergency Operating Plan that guides these partnerships. Salida Schools will also conduct reunifications drills after students return for the ’24-’25 school year, in addition to required routine drills throughout the year.
For additional information please contact Kim LeTourneau at 719-530-5225 or kletourneau@salidaschools.org.
