[QUOTE="Stan Upchurch, post: 2203011, member: 24489"] As a retired Oklahoma Teacher. I know that if the parents want it, and make enough noise about it. The schools would find a way to build shelters. I taught in Norman at Cleveland Elementary. We had a underground shelter that could fit all of the students and teachers in it. The shelter become a City Public Shelter when school is not in session. The school was built in 1962 or 63. The shelter was originally to be used as a bomb shelter. The old Lincoln School on Classen in Norman had an underground shelter. It was a tunnel that went under Classen. The Ciity filled in the tunnel because too many people were killed (auto) by hitting the entrance to the tunnell. Jefferson School used to have a basement the students went into. The Old Central High School niow a Mid high had the students sit down in an interior hallway made of concrete walls. (hall,concrete, classroom, outside brick wall). but in my 25 years of teaching and the 37 years my wife taught in the norman School System and the 25 years my mother taught in ther system we never heard of a tornado hitting a school in either Norman, Moore, or Oklahoma City. Times have changed EXCEPT, if the public wants every school to have a Tornado shelter, the Legislature will see that school systems get the money to do so. Remember... just like the increase in teacher pay. [/QUOTE]
