[LM_NET] OT: Lightning

[David Lininger <tigerlibrarian@GMAIL.COM>]

We had a small band of thunderstorms move through this morning, and a 
tree on the campus of a neighboring District was hit by lightning. 
Students were outside at the time. None were hit, but apparently some 
were knocked to the ground. It would seem to me that schools ought to 
have a policy that keeps everyone inside when there is lightning 
outside, but we don't have such a policy and obviously they don't 
either. Do any of you have such a policy?

I realize that it would be a bit of an inconvenience for schools that 
have classes in outbuildings (Ag, Vo-tech, etc.) but I would think that 
a lightning strike on a student would be a greater "inconvenience" for 
everyone concerned.
