Texas Approves Bill For Armed Guards At All Schools

In reaction to the Uvalde tragedy last year, Texas lawmakers sent a comprehensive school safety bill to Governor Greg Abbott on Sunday.

The legislation calls for the posting of armed security officers at every Texas school and the provision of mental health training for certain district personnel. It also increases the state’s authority to compel school districts to develop active-shooter strategies.

After resolving their differences over the last week, both chambers granted their final approval to House Bill 3.
