Here's a 2019 article that took a two-minute search to find: https://www.newsweek.com/colorado-schools-issuing-buckets-ki...

> Parents and teachers in a Colorado school district were surprised by some new additions to the list of necessary back-to-school supplies—including kitty litter, buckets and trash bags.

> The products are part of Jefferson County's "Emergency Go Bucket," a way for students to relieve themselves in the event of a prolonged lockdown because of an active shooter.

I really can't tell if you're trolling or not. Did you read my comment? It talks precisely about Jefferson County in the late 2010s. This was the only known official case, and it was about lockdowns, not drills like you claimed.

Honestly, it didn't take long to find this article either:

> Dale Munholland’s classroom at Pomona High in Arvada is equipped with the necessities in modern-day America: a touch-screen projector, a computer — and a bucket filled with kitty litter, just in case an active-shooting drill lasts longer than a student’s bladder can handle. (https://www.denverpost.com/2018/03/03/school-shooting-prepar...)

It seems it really was for drills and not just lockdowns

Right now anyway, the wikipedia article which says "The only known official instance of cat litter being placed in school classrooms for potential use by students was in the late 2010s by the Jefferson County Public School District" also says it's for "an emergency lockdown situation, such as during a school shooting" so I guess drills can also count as "an emergency lockdown situation"

> Pomona High in Arvada

Pomona High School is in Jefferson County. It's still the same one.

I'll grant your point that it's at least not entirely settled whether it's for a drill or for an active shooter.
