(INDIANAPOLIS) - The next time a fire alarm goes off in an Indiana school, teachers and staff could wait up to three minutes before evacuating students from classrooms.
State Lawmakers passed a safety measure to allow the delay of fire evacuations so teachers and staff can check hallways for threats of other than fire and smoke before sending students out.
The measure was passed after a recent school shootings where armed attackers tripped fire alarms to lure students out of classrooms, making them easy targets.
