Nearly 95 percent of public schools had lockdown drills as of 2015-16.[1] I don't know anyone who's been through one either, but I'm an adult, and our generation just missed the cutoff.

- Duladian 8y agoI went through the public school system and I remember having lockdown drills from 1997 onward. Teachers just locked the doors and continued teaching until the all clear was announced and they unlocked the door. In 2014 I was working IT for a private high school which had an active shooter drill on a yearly basis. I was told they started it two years prior because a student came onto campus with a handgun. Both in southern California.
