Staff development day to include safety drills

All Marcellus Central Schools faculty and staff will participate in two safety-related drills on Thursday, March 28, as part of a professional development day in the district. Students have no classes Thursday or Friday, and will not be on campus for the training exercises.

The drills will include a mock evacuation to an off-campus site, as well as an “active shooter” drill that will be conducted with the assistance of local law enforcement agencies.

Teachers also will be participating in “formative assessment” sessions with facilitators from Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES.  Such assessments help teachers determine how well students are learning the materials presented during classroom lessons.
