Update April 18, 2017: Emergency and Evacuation Plans - Individuals With Disabilities, Approved by the Governor. Students, staff and visitors to public school buildings in MD will have accommodations to assist them to get out of harms way in case of an emergency/fire.This accommodation means a Med Sled, Evac Chair or device to move people with disabilities down the stairs and out of a building immediately and with their peers. No more waiting at the top of a stairway for EMS to get them...if they can find them! Common sense bill with unanimous votes from the House and Senate!
