School Emergency Procedures

The video tutorial explains the protocol for clearing hallways during certain situations at school, such as medical emergencies or altercations, which require a 'hold' to be called. Teachers are instructed to bring students into classrooms, lock doors, and continue normal activities as much as possible. Holds are typically announced and concluded via the PA system, ensuring safety without posing significant threats to students or staff.
