I hope they rebuild the school with Monolithic Dome construction. From what many say, this will provide the best tornado protection. I have seen that Insulating Concrete Forms will take an EF3 tornado, but don't know how much more. Both use reinforced concrete with insulation, and will be cheaper to heat & cool as well. I am not being compensated to speak this specifically about what I think are the best construction options. It saves time to name the names.
