Today, staff gathered at Cooper for a reunification exercise focused on student safety and emergency preparedness. Through this hands-on training, staff practiced a real-time plan designed to ensure students remain safe and accounted for while in our care and can be reunited with their families in an efficient and organized manner. Exercises like this help ensure our staff are prepared, informed, and ready to respond should an emergency arise.
