We did everything we could and we'll look at that to make sure that if there's more we can do if it was to every occur again.– Parker Grimmer

Grimmer said school officials did a good job of handling the evacuation.

"We did everything we could and we'll look at that to make sure that if there's more we can do if it was to ever occur again," he said.

"I think [an event like] this is new to us, so we're reacting in a new way to it, but we have plans and procedures and I think we followed them."
