WICHITA — Saturday’s threat of powerful tornadoes has administrators at some Kansas high schools taking no chances with student safety.

KSNW-TV reports at least three high schools in south-central Kansas are moving their Saturday night proms to safer locations.

Goddard High School’s prom had been planned for a hall in Wichita. But principal Doug Birdwell says administrators decided Friday to hold it in the school itself, where students can take shelter in safe rooms if needed.

Maize and Valley Center high schools are also moving their proms to buildings with FEMA storm shelters.

Those measures would make sense to residents of Hoisington, where a massive tornado struck without warning on April 21, 2001. Students attending prom at Hoisington High School huddled in the basement as the twister tore the roof off the building.
