They will collect the phones to keep the kids from telling anyone what is really happening. These people learned their lessons from 911. Control information leaks is the game.

Re: Kids being SECRETLY bused away from school - Emergency Preparedness Drill in Oklahoma - Update: *IT HAPPENED*
When we lived in TX, my kids went to a REALLY, REALLY small school. Our first year there, they had a threat that required the entire campus K-12 be evacuated. Kids were bused over to a local church away from the school grounds. ALL the parents were called immediately by teachers and told where the kids were. They did drills later and parents were informed where the kids were.

This does NOT sound right. EVERY preparedness program has an acknowledged meeting place thing in it. If the threat is from the outside...the perpetrator will not know the location...and if its from the inside...they already know. There is absolutely NO validity to that argument. The school has NO RIGHT to take YOUR kids anywhere without full disclosure.

As long as they refuse to tell you where the kids are being taken, that is KIDNAPPING.

A school is NOT within the law to do that.

PERIOD!!!

You should be ashamed for not knowing better!! SPREAD THE WORD NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!

In kindergarten, they forgot to get parental permission and they took me to a turkey farm waaaay out in the country, let us pet the turkeys, then took us to watch them killed and hung upside down for the blood to drain. Yep. That was a traumatic experience I never got over.

Called BS earlier.. Seems Grand Lake has spent great amount of resources into adding earthquake drills to the safety procedure. Hosting drills in November of 2011

Oklahoma as we know sits on New Madrid. I being from Denver remember the operation Mountain Guardian recently where children were separated from their parents and taken to Mile High stadium as part of disaster response procedure. This probably is the same training in a different state. Really I don't think that anything bad will happen tomorrow, but what they are preparing for is indeed disturbing. Really in order to ultimately protect children from this would be to school them at home...

Here's to hoping the world ends on the weekend! lol

What if there was a family emergency within those 2 hours and you needed to get to your child? It seems like this is borderline ILLEGAL to take children to an "undisclosed location".

Kidnapping the masses?
 Quoting: Jilly23


It is absolutely beyond! Are you kidding me?

What need does a highschool or any school for that matter need to remove your children, without your permission, without knowing there whereabouts, and with no way to contact them? Are you serious!? And they are taking all of the kids cellphones?

I call bullshit! There is no way i would ever comply with such bullshit! What happens if a national emergency really happens, while the drill is going on?

Its not like that hasent already happened remember 911 all law enforcement and fire were practicing in case of an emergency and woa look what happened. And in Europe too, practicing for a terrorist attack and boom, it happens!!!

This is just too fricken fishy! And wierd! What happened to reading writing and arithmetic? Now it seems everything is about surviving a possible terrorist attack, just too frickin weird and sensless!

The Robocall was placed by them with no intention of being a private and privileged conversation. Therefore, it is no better than public domain.

The call you recorded with the superintendent was a call originating in and between two parties within the state of Oklahoma proper. Oklahoma is a single party state with regards to recorded conversations. That means only one party need be aware that a recording is taking place. As such, your recording is a proper and legal transcription between you (the knowing party) and another, and you have the right to publish that as you see fit.

You're within the law OP.

Sounds kinda like in New Orleans when they told everyone to go to that stadium. WE know how safe that turned out to be, people being mugged, shot, raped etc.. Great place for the kiddos. I agree if you don't want this to happen to your children in an emergency then get them out of public school and you and your family make your own safe spots in case of emergency. Home schooling is your friend.

Grove Public Schools will have a mock emergency on Tuesday, March 27 at approximately 9:30 a.m. on one to the school campuses. The campus chosen will remain unknown to all until the exact time of the mock emergency to give all administration as well as students and teachers the opportunity to practice emergency preparedness.
Schools will be working in cooperation with local emergency responders including the Grove Police Department, Grove Fire Department, Delaware County Emergency Management and Grove EMS according to Grove Police Chief Mark Morris.
“Which ever site it takes place at, there will be a tremendous amount of emergency vehicles and we need to get the word out to parents that this is a drill. The exact location of the drill will be released early that morning. This allows us to better prepare in case of an actually emergency,” Morris said.

This OP!

If you have anything beyond what's already been generally publicized by the school, then you've not told or reported it here throughout the course of this thread.

What you have would or could simply verify your story, perhaps shed some light onto the tone and reasoning of who you spoke with in the school administration, and provide a degree of clarity to the point that you've been given.

There is no good reason, nor any legal reason, NOT to post whatever you claim to have in that case.

From what experience I have with recorded calls is that a recorded call cannot be used in court unless the other person or both parties know it is being recorded. But you are not in a court of law right now, so that is not a concern.

Negative Keats. No-party consent would allow any individual to record private conversations between others without their knowledge AND without being a party to those conversations themselves.

The one party means that you have that right; however, you also MUST be a party to the recorded conversation as well.

Oh I think it's all horrendous but I'm just saying their were no cell phones and my parents did NOT know where i was on the field trip. I mean, that was life in the old days. That said, I think we've crossed the line already. As parents demanded authorities and schools to "keep our kids safe" the government - both federal and local - took away all of our personal liberties. By the time we were handing our children and grandparents over to to strangers to be groped and molested - and then complained about it AFTERWARD, well, kiss the country goodbye.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10267579


The reason the superintendent gave was that there was a bomb threat last year and within two minutes a parent had posted to Facebook that the kids were okay and were in the "Field House"...which would have put the kids at risk because the bomber obviously would have had Facebook loaded and see where the kids were located. This is why she says the kids' phones are being taken.
