The first safety drill will be conducted Friday afternoon.
Read the full letter below:
We are aware that Leon County has implemented a curfew from 11 pm to 5 am in response to local demonstrations. With Leon High School’s proximity to downtown, we are working closely with the LCS Safety and Security personnel as well as local law enforcement to insure the safety of all Leon High School students and staff. If at any time we are informed by LCS staff or local law enforcement of potential danger to our campus, we have the necessary protocols in place to address the situation. Information will be disseminated to parents via email listserv as promptly as possible. As part of our normal operations and state requirements for safety drills, we will conduct an emergency lock down drill followed by a fire drill this Friday afternoon at the end of the last class. Again this will only be a drill.
-Principal Billy Epting
