WISD Mock Safety Drill Completed

Today’s planned safety drill involving Weatherford ISD, Weatherford Police Department, Weatherford Fire Department, Weatherford Regional Medical Center and LifeCare began around 9:00 am and lasted approximately one hour. The purpose of this exercise was to test the emergency planning processes of all participating organizations.

The safety drill took place in the east parking area of the Weatherford Ridge Shopping Center and involved a simulated collision between a propane truck and school bus. A few Weatherford High School Health Science students participated in the drill as bus riders.
Because the mock accident was near a school campus and involved a simulated propane leak, Austin Elementary practiced a “shelter-in-place” drill during this safety exercise.

We appreciate the support of our families and community as we worked to improve processes that ensure the safety of our students and staff.
