"A school system in Alabama has spent six figures on a pair of bulletproof whiteboards that swing out from the wall to create enforced panic rooms to protect against mass shooters, AL.com reported.

The structures are also designed to function as storm shelters.

"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," AL.com reported.

"Cullman City Schools Superintendent Kyle Kalhoff said the system 'can make a difference between life or death in the unimaginable school shooter situation.' When the system is not deployed, it serves as a functional white board that a teacher can quickly pull out into a room that fits up to approximately 60 children or 20 adults."
