Student safety is our top priority, and that is why every classroom on the Quitman campus is equipped with a military grade, ballistic steel shelter capable of withstanding an F5 Tornado."in support of the product, saying it gave them and their students peace of mind.
"The problem is that we tend to respond to events, like the tragedy in Uvalde, with a quick solution. Let's do a quick fix. Let's buy something really fast," she said."And we tend to look at something shiny and go, 'Hey, let's buy that thing.'"

The safety pods"look great" for situations like tornadoes, she said, but what about safety situations that go beyond that?
