Del Valle ISD trustees approved a resolution calling on lawmakers to pass gun control legislation to prevent mass shootings. They’re demanding elected officials at all levels work together on solutions to keep campuses and communities safe.
“The answer isn’t that we need to arm all of our teachers and our administrators. The answer can’t be that you have one door that enters in and out of the building,” she said. “There has to be [a] more comprehensive approach to this effort and it has to start with limiting who, and when, and how an individual can purchase a weapon of war.”
A new survey from Texas AFT, the state affiliate of the national union the American Federation of Teachers,Birch said the school board will do what it has to do to protect campuses but the focus cannot just be on “hardening” buildings. “You can’t prevent the next Uvalde, Sutherland Springs, El Paso, you won’t have that ability if all you’re going to do is focus on putting the burden on the victims to take care of themselves,” she said.
The Del Valle ISD Board of Trustees also approved another resolution calling on the Texas Association of School Boards to include gun violence prevention in the group’s agenda for the next legislative session. TASB has not replied to a request for comment on whether it plans to include that. The Texas Legislature is set to convene for its 88th regular session on Jan. 10.to support it.
