EducationSafety Management4HighTeacher$ implied
A Deaf teacher in a hearing school lacks visual emergency alerts in their classroom, relying on students to notify them during drills or emergencies.
The teacher's classroom lacks a flashing phone or visual alert system, and the local fire department does not provide visual alert systems, so existing school emergency notification methods are not accessible to Deaf staff.
