Controversy

Brodhead High School was involved in controversy in late October 2016 over a safety drill on driving. The school made a public morning announcement during class that four students had died that morning in a car crash. Those students, who were alive, were not allowed to use their cell phones to inform their students that it was part of a drill. Later on, the school made a second announcement that the four students were alive and that this was a simulation drill. Additional announcements were made during the day on more students dying in crashes that did not exist.[3][4][5]
