Lock Down Protocol Fire Drill Protocol

If a head injury is suspected, the athlete will immediately be pulled from activity/competition and an evaluation will be performed by the athletic trainer and/or physician The athlete will not be allowed to return to activity that day The next day, the athlete will be re-evaluated by the athletic trainer for appropriate management. If the athlete is still experiencing or exhibiting symptoms, they must see a physician at the earliest possible time. Once the athlete receives medical clearance from the physician, they may begin the return-to-play protocol under the supervision of the athletic trainer

A lockdown may be necessary in the event of: a violent intruder, weapon on campus, hostage situations, active shooter, hostile individual, dangerous animal or any other reason deemed appropriate by civil authorities or administration

Lockdown drills will be conducted once a semester to familiarize both staff and students with the procedure
