Douglas School District will be conducting practice DRILLS and TRAININGS for the ALICE protocol from approximately 2:15 - 2:30.
DSD takes the safety and security of students, staff, and families very seriously. Ongoing through the year we will be teaching students about the ALICE protocol and conducting drills in preparation of any emergency events on one of our district campuses. Please contact Douglas School District if you have any additional questions.

ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Training instructor led classes provide preparation and a plan for individuals and organizations on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. Whether it is an attack by an individual person or by an international group of professionals intent on conveying a political message through violence, ALICE Training option based tactics have become the accepted response, versus the traditional “lockdown only” approach.
