As the largest school district in central Indiana prepares for a new year, administrators, staff and students participated in a reunification drill Tuesday, July 29 at Arsenal Technical High School. "Reunification drills are a key component of school emergency planning," said an IPS spokesperson in a statement. "In the event of an actual emergency, reunification ensures students are safely and efficiently returned to their families. Practicing this process allows IPS to assess readiness, refine procedures and ensure all staff are confident in their roles." School safety experts say, nationwide, reunification drills are a key part of disaster preparedness but are often not practiced enough.
