Back in my senior year of High school (2004), they posted some sort of Homeland Security posters that showed what was supposed to happen when we were at a specific terror alert color... Most of the time we were on yellow, and under the listing it said something to the effect of keeping school buildings locked, and staying inside at all times, etc... It was the most amazing amount of crap I've ever seen.
They also posted colored School emergency codes, some of which matched the terror alert codes: Green I think was a medical emergency, and classes weren't allowed to dismiss during a school code green... Red was like a bomb threat or soemthing lame, and I can't even remember what yellow was, or if there was even a yellow at all.
In the end, it was to make the parents of your upper-middle class scholastic jock of the year feel like thier kid is invincable.
