Peekskill City School District Makes Safety a Priority
On Wednesday, September 25, at approximately 12:26 p.m., the Peekskill City School District in conjunction with the Peekskill Police Department and a BOCES Health and Safety Representative, conducted a live lockdown drill at Peekskill High School to test the District's emergency response and preparedness. The simulation lasted about one hour and was deemed successful by both the District and the Peekskill Police Department.
