(ABC 6 News) - It's Severe Weather Awareness Week and ABC 6 News is looking at how some schools are executing drills during a pandemic.
Rochester Public Schools' Health and Safety Analyst Michael Stock said schools are not required to execute the actual drill during the practice drill so that social distancing can be achieved. Some schools have even developed hybrid drills to make sure students are prepared for an actual emergency. This includes talking about the plan in the classroom then walking to the shelter area to show students where to go in the event of an emergency.
