Are We Ready?
No, we’re NOT ready for a disaster or lockdown.

Are We Trying to Get Ready?
Yes!

As the first Health and Safety Chairperson in many years at DP, I am becoming acutely aware of how unprepared we are. I have thoroughly inventoried our disaster bin and many of the classrooms to determine the status of our emergency supplies. I have found that most of our food, water, and first aid supplies are completely out of date. In the last year, there have been FIVE lockdowns at Santa Barbara schools. San Marcos alone was under lockdown for nearly eight hours. The need to be appropriately prepared is clear. With the help of Assistant Principal Jorge Fulco, the DP PTSA has determined that the #1 priority for the health and safety of our students during a lockdown or natural disaster is to prepare the classrooms. We have researched the most comprehensive and cost-effective solutions and have determined that, with a student body of 2,475, the cost will be approximately $10,500. This averages out to $4.25 per student for their basic needs to be met in case of a lockdown for an undetermined amount of time.
