“I can neither confirm nor deny
anything about A.C.S.”

Please don’t leave a suicidal child unattended.
If they’re homicidal let them run. Ha ha. Silence.

If there is a fire in the building
or a bomb
on the L train
you will be directed to do certain things—
shut your doors—
the intercom system does work
after all
in certain rooms.
We’re working on it.

Code blue—a kid’s down.
Some of us are pre-C.P.R. trained.
Some of us aren’t.
Someone will come.

God forbid one of our teachers or students die,
it is not an immediate crisis.
But there will be counseling set up.

Don’t speak to the press.

You will be given a copy
of the plan.
