Door Magnet Strip Use and Safety
Overview
This resource will be sent out to all teachers in a school district to show how and when to use a door magnet adopted by their district's Quick Response Team. The door magnets help the door stay unlatched, while making the door easy to lock in an emergency. Because the doors only lock and unlock with a key from the outside, exiting the classroom to lock the door with a key could be potentially dangerous in certain situations. This item includes two video tutorials on how to use the magnet. A flyer shows teachers when they should remove the magnet. Printed copies of this flyer would be placed in each teacher's mailbox after the training so they could hang it next to their door as a reminder of when they should remove the magnet. At the end of the lesson the learners will be able to place and quickly remove the magnet. They will also be able to know when the magnet should be removed.
