And I will say it again, why is it that they did not obtain permission for a planned event. They managed to plan for the drill but couldn't plan for permission slips? You think it's okay for a school district to move children from one location to another without consulting parents? What if those buses got into an accident during this drill and the parents were unaware that their children were even going to be on the buses to begin with???? Imagine getting a call that your kid has been in a bus accident while you assumed they were going to be on school property performing a drill. BTW, your argument is moot because the superintendent, per the article, said:

"We are not taking them out of town, they are going to be on school buses and school property, so no, no I don't think we have to have parent consent to practice a drill."

They don't feel they even need it to begin with.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
