(From American School and University) The Fruitport School District in Michigan has announced that its new high school, now under construction, has design elements to help students hide and make it more difficult for an intruder to carry out an attack in the event of a shooting. Design elements include long curved hallways with cement barricades to "cut down on the sight lines if we have an active shooter in the building," according Fruitport Superintendent Bob Szymoniak. Access-controlled locks on all of the doors enable administrators to lock down rooms across the district, and impact-resistant film will be placed on all classroom windows. "This building will be the safest, most secure building in the state of Michigan when it opens,” said Szymoniak, adding that construction is expected to wrap up in 2021.
