An NBC 5 Investigation aired yesterday on local television on fire an security drills in Fort Worth and Arlington.
The report can be seen at the following link: http://www.nbcdfw.com/investigations/Some-Arlington-Fort-Worth-Schools-Miss-Required-Safety-Drills-193661461.html
The report includes the Irving School District:
NBC 5 Investigates also obtained records from the Irving Independent School District. All Irving schools did one lockdown drill and one shelter-in-place drill during the 2011-12 school year, but there were five schools that skipped at least one fire drill.
In a statement to NBC 5 Investigates, Irving ISD states, “Beginning immediately, the district's internal auditor will now begin inspecting Fire Drill Reports to ensure compliance."
The superintendent has also ordered the security department to start keeping track of all drills each month to make sure they happen.
