Please share!The Vandalia-Butler City School District, in partnership with Emergency Response Teams from the City of Vandalia, Butler Township and other surrounding agencies, will be conducting a full-scale safety drill at Butler High School on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019.
The District is holding this training as an effort to continue building and improving its culture of safety. There are five components to the District’s plan to build a culture of safety, one component being training.
The safety and security of all students, staff, and visitors is a top priority for our District, and we are grateful to have a close-knit relationship with Vandalia Police and Fire as well as Butler Township Police and Fire Departments which allows us to all work together to ensure our priorities are met.
This scheduled exercise has been carefully planned and will consist of real-life scenarios. Please be advised you may see an abundance of first responder vehicles on the Bulter High School campus during this training. The training is scheduled to begin at approximately 8:00 a.m. and could last as late as 4:00 p.m. District staff and the local emergency responders will be practicing how to handle critical situations which may look alarming to those passing by.
Please be advised that no students will be involved in this exercise. Students do not start the 2019-2020 school year until Wednesday, Aug. 21. Our students continue to receive safety training throughout each school year, including grade-level appropriate A.L.I.C.E. training.
Please contact Anaka Johnson at Vandalia-Butler City Schools if you have any questions or concerns.
The Vandalia Division of Police will be participating in the Ohio Traffic Safety Program, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Please be careful!
On August 9, VPD hosted 18 retired Vandalia officers for the first annual retiree range session. Retired police officers are permitted to carry a concealed weapon under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), which affords them similar rights as civilians who obtain a CCW permit. We had a great time catching up with some familiar faces. We salute our retirees for paving the way for the success we enjoy today.
The iconic Passport to Safety program has already started at St. Christopher. Yesterday was police day. The children learned various safety tips about strangers, calling 911 and got to take a look at a real police car.
