We were locked down inside of the building when there was a bomb threat? Good thing there wasn't a real bomb, because we were all inside.

My daughter was "locked" in her classroom with doors locked, shades down and huddled in a corner.

I stand corrected. I misunderstood my son when he described the days events.
They did go out for the "fire drill", but they were "locked" and "huddled" in one of the corners of the room for the "Lock Down". My apologies.

"Department of Wealth Redistribution" is much more fitting.

I am a veteran school administrator in the New Jersey public schools and I have three young childrenRead More in the district. I am frightened and worried about our schools. What would it take for the PADOE to take over the district? Electing new board members is not enough. We need help from the state as soon as possible. The district needs to be stabilized and then everything from soup to nuts must be assessed by an outside educational entity. Our children deserve much better!

I hear the NFSA does a good job helping school districts and from the list of PA schools a number ofRead More local schools, like Parkland and some in Bucks County participate. Maybe this is something Easton needs to do. http://www.schoolfoundations.org/en/about_nsfa/
