Texas Legislature’s response to Uvalde: Armed security officers at every school

Texas lawmakers’ response to the state’s deadliest school shooting is a sweeping piece of legislation that mandates armed personnel on every campus.


But how all school districts will find and pay for security officers – along with other required safety upgrades – could be challenging. The Legislature barely raised the amount of money per student it will provide campuses to implement such measures.


Schools will get $10 per student to use for safety costs, marking a 28-cent increase from what districts received last year. In addition, each campus will get a $15,000 allotment.
