A medical lockdown involving the need to assist a staff member at Whitlow Elementary School in Cumming led to a reminder by the Forsyth County school system that not every lockdown means a crisis is unfolding. With more than 42,000 students and 4,300 staff members in schools throughout the district, Jennifer Caracciolo, a spokeswoman for the district, said this procedure happens daily. “Medical lockdowns are to ensure the person in the medical situation receives proper care and, if first responders are needed, that they can easily get to the individual,” Caracciolo said.
