A joint committee hearing between the state House Homeland Security and Public Safety committee, and the Youth Health and Safety Select committee heard testimony about where weak spots in school safety still exist.
The hearing began with a Uvalde High School student who lost her sister in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary.
“It didn’t work. It’s a four-foot fence,” said Cazares. “Fences like that keep animals out, not grown men with AR-15s.”Cazares also questioned why the CISD’s security plan called for staff to regularly patrol entry and exit doors and parking lots on secondary campuses, but not elementary schools.Six police chiefs from urban and rural departments told lawmakers more mandated active shooter training is needed for law enforcement across the state.
“Currently, that does not travel with the student to the potential safety demise of everybody at that new campus,” said Standridge.
