• Another reminder that he Plainfield Police Department will conduct an “active shooter drill” at Plainfield North High School from 8-10:30 a.m. Saturday, August 16, 2008. The police will use this drill to assess and improve their procedures for responding to a situation involving an intruder with a gun. District 202 is happy to partner with the police in this important exercise. Drill participants will begin gathering and staging for the exercise at 7 a.m. at Heritage Grove Middle School. Various roads around Plainfield North High School will be temporarily closed and traffic will be rerouted during the drill, as it would be during a real crisis. The entire exercise should be complete, the area cleared and roads re-opened by about 12:30 p.m. For more information please call Plainfield Police Department Commander John Konopek at (815) 439-4803.
