Lightning Policy

Lightning detectors are to be present during outdoor practices and competitions at both the middle school and high school levels. Currently, one is kept in the operations office, and the other is located in the softball dugout (fall) or the high school baseball dugout (spring). Only one detector is sufficient for the entire campus since all activities will stop if lightning is registered at the 8-20 mile level or if any lightning or thunder is seen or heard in the immediate vicinity. The coach or administrator responsible must have all activities stopped immediately and all players and coaches directed to the nearest shelter.
