But if they must, they are asked to go to Barrett Middle School until the situation is under control. The school will staff at Barrett Middle School to answer questions.Del Campo High's lockdown procedure means students have to stay in class or go to the nearest classroom. Teachers turn off the lights, pull the blinds and have the students stay as still as possible.According to the school website, about 1900 students are enrolled at the school. It also employs 86 staff members.At one point Kim Zeltvay and two officers came in to room 17 and asked if anyone went by the name Bob or Bobby. They got mad when we tried to take a photo and then left. A bit later we looked out the window and saw the dog and several officers.
