The devil is in the details. Read the SB referenced. It sounds like a lot of money until you do the math. It doesn’t come close to covering the cost of security personnel at every campus. The HB is a better solution and was approved in plenty of time.
If the response is that the district should cover some of the cost, I don’t disagree but that would assume districts aren’t wildly under funded with the state sitting on a literal pile of cash. Our elected officials are either for increasing safety and security for our educators and students or they are not. There is no in between.
In case anyone ever wonders why nothing gets done in Austin, here is a side by side of two elected “leaders” in the middle of a social media spat. Why our students and educators continue to be used as pawns by our elected reps is beyond me.
