As a teacher who just attended a (tedious) training on school lockdown and other "it won't happen to us" scenarios, I was surprised by how close to home this lockdown hit. The presence of SWAT and other emergency responders, together with the earlier post by a San Marcos HS student saying that she felt very safe during the process, convinces me that emergency plans--tedious though they may be--can truly make a difference and are perhaps most successful when, in the end, people think it was "much ado about nothing." I wasn't there, and imagine it was tough for faculty, students, staff and admin, but it sounds to me like the lockdown plan protected the students. That's ultimately what matters.
