>> so there's really not a good answer for that. >> reporter: superintendent joe roy says since the nbc 10 investigators uncovered the lack of drills, he's now get monthly reports about each school's fire drills. >> it's fixed. i mean, it's fixed. >> reporter: he's not the only one facing questions. >> irresponsible. >> reporter: susan wanted to know why her grandson's school had a fire alarm marked out of order. she didn't realize six of the distribute's ten schools did not record enough fire drills. >> i'm disappointed in the fact that it even happened in my school district. >> the principals were admonished for that. >> reporter: the superintendent, john rhinehart, says he's put the district's police chief in charge of making sure the fire drills get done. in coatesville, none of the district's ten schools documented enough fire drills. the district's own records show east fallowfield elementary did just one fire drill last year, while coatesville senior high

school failed to record any drills. >> in the past they have not been required to send a form to the district office. >> reporter: superintendent cathy tashner said her district did drill, they just didn't always write it down. so it's a word of mouth process? >> that's correct. >> reporter: how do you know you're doing enough drills if you don't document it? >> well, that's the point. i sign the form based on the data i have at the time. >> reporter: all superintendents must certify to the department of education that their districts did all required fire drills. superintendent tashner signed her certification, so did superintendent rhinehart in easton. but notice the date, they all signed it in march, before the school year is over. how can you certify you did all your drills when the school year is not complete? >> right. so essentially every verification form that's sent in is not accurate. >> reporter: that is the form

that all superintendents have to sign and send to the department of education certifying that they did in fact do all of their required fire drills. you would think that once it gets to harrisburg, someone would check to make sure it's accurate. >> no, we don't have an individual that does that. >> reporter: pedro rivera is pennsylvania's secretary of education. are you equipped to be able to monitor this? >> so i think this is a great opportunity to kind of revisit the fact that we have to do a better job of using technology. >> reporter: after seeing what the nbc 10 investigators uncovered, he promises sweeping changes, including having districts report all fire drills electronically and posting them publicly online. rivera says this will allow the department to better track the drills and let parents see what their district is doing. he's also pushing back the filing date so superintendents can certify after the school year is actually over. >> credit is absolutely due to you. you definitely brought it to light.
