Lockdown drills must be mandatory in the state of California

Fire and earthquake drills are mandatory, yet lockdown drills, a key factor in protecting our children from school shootings, are not. Make lockdown drills mandatory, and save the lives of our children.

Why is this important?

This week alone, January 12 th to the 18th, there have been two school shootings in our nation. We can easily implement lockdown drills, which are proven to save children's lives when an active shooter is on campus. I was sickened by Sandy Hook, and continue to be sickened by the increase in school shootings.
