Controversy
[edit]Brodhead High School was involved in controversy in late October 2016 over a safety drill on driving. The school made a public morning announcement 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 fellow students that it was part of a drill. Later, the school made a second announcement that the students were alive and that this had been a simulation drill. Additional announcements were made during the day about more students dying in crashes that did not actually happen.[3][4][5]
