(CNN)A Miami private school is offering parents an unusual item for sale: bulletproof panels for their kids' backpacks.
The Florida Christian School website has a list of items available for purchase. These include winter wear, red school logo T-shirts and ballistic panels.
George Gulla, dean of students and head of school security at Florida Christian School, told CNN the bulletproof panels would add "another level of protection" to students of the pre-K through grade 12 school "in the event of an active shooter."
The school has never had a shooting incident.
"The teachers are trained to instruct the students to use their backpacks as a shield to protect themselves," Gulla told CNN in an email.
The cost of the panels is $120.
Gulla also said showing teachers how to use the panels is just a part of the overall safety training he gives them...

Where does the money go? If a school using fear to make a profit it's just foul!

Don't know if this is sarcasm or anything, but I'm a guess that it is considering that schools in the hood all over have had to deal with gun violence for YEARS and didn't get anything close to something like a bulletproof insert to use in case of emergency. Once you walk past metal detectors you are on your own.playboy buddy rose wrote: »Would like ta know if this is a predominantly black or white private school -
This just further proves that nothing gets addressed until it starts to affect white people smh.

i dont get the problem with this. its just an extra safety precaution that some parents might be interested in. it's not mandatory to buy them.

Hell... Maybe I just ain't been to school in a long ass time.....but we wasn't allowed to walk around wit no damn bookbags on anyway. I think a few years after I graduated they started sellin thrm clear and mesh joints at the schools for convienience but when I was in it was strictly lockers and arm strength. -
