I work at PWUMC but it was my day off, I heard nothing but good reports from those that were ACTUALLY there. Nothing negative was spoken to me about the response time or the sheriff's actions.
Thank you. I'm not sure exactly how events went down at your school. It was a job well done overall, except for the fact that there there was 1 or 2 schools in SoWal which agents in charge didn't know about.
I only bring it up in hopes that it will prevent similar in the future. A teacher at SWMA was called by a parent from Bay who reported that Bay was in lockdown with an armed guard out front. No official calls, automated or otherwise were received at SWMA. It was learned today that SWMA was not registered in the 911 system.
It was about an hour and a half later that a deputy showed up at the "monastary school" (maybe the source of the point washington "cult school" rumor from last year?)
After Bay was evacuated, officials in charge learned there was more than one school in the area, they turned three buses around and sent them to PWUMC and SWMA. After a bit of directional difficulty, the buses arrived and WCSO, FWC, ATF, and Bay County Beach Patrol got everyone out safely. All's well that ends well. Hopefully lessons were learned.
