safe rooms for extra storage

2013-08-13 16:54:13.700986+02 by Nancy 2 comments

Cleveland, Tennessee, is building a new elementary school with safe rooms in each classroom. The safe rooms will be used for storage when not in emergency use. Does anyone else see an inherent flaw in this plan?

Storage? I'm sure they'll be used as extra classrooms in a year or two.
