Hartland Consolidated Schools has submitted a security plan regarding to the Michigan Department of Education.

Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Hartland Schools Chuck Hughes said they are now waiting for the state to review the plan.

"The state had requested we come up with an outlined plan on how we will ensure that everybody understands the security measures and protocols in place for testing," Hughes said. "So our job was to capture in writing how we were going to go about doing that, following the integrity manuals from the state."

Hughes said that standard training requires that all building principals are trained on the security measures for the Michigan Educational Assessment Program tests who in turn, will train their staff. 

"My role will be to monitor the situation," Hughes said. "Monitor the buildings and the and ensure that everybody is following those protocols."
