Texas requires schools to have emergency plans and conduct safety drills. But a lot of decisions about safety are left to school districts and charter schools.
“The reason for that is the last thing we want to do is expose or make available plans to any folks that, you know, may be interested in targeting a school,” Martinez-Prather said.
In response to the Santa Fe school shooting, state lawmakers also required every school to have a behavioral threat assessment team. State lawmakers also pushed for more school safety communication, training and mental health resources after the Santa Fe school shooting, but turnover and staffing constraints have complicated efforts, Baskin said.
If a school district employs officers, an officer may be assigned to more than one school, said Lynelle Sparks, executive director of the Texas Association of School Resource Officers. “Locking doors during the day, classroom doors during instruction also, is another time barrier and one less step to do when we go into lockdown,” she said.
