LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - Oklahoma’s Fifth Season is upon us, when severe weather bears down on Texoma and the spring school semester carries on.
Schools across Oklahoma, including Plato Elementary School in Duncan are preparing for the 5th Season, practicing getting to safety. Every elementary school and Duncan Middle are equipped with safe rooms or storm shelters, except for the high school.
In the event of severe weather, high school students go to the safest place possible. Superintendent Tom Deighan says they are working to change that. Plans are already in motion to build safe rooms in the high school.
