Cullman City Schools unveiled a new safety system Monday that is meant to protect students during both active shooter events and natural disasters.
Two special education classrooms at West Elementary School are currently piloting the technology, developed by KT Security Solutions, which essentially turns a classroom whiteboard into a pop-out, standalone, bulletproof storm shelter. The school is the first in the nation to test the safe rooms, which cost the district about $120,000 for both classrooms.
