The tragedy in Uvalde has heightened the urgency to solidify security plans and highlighted the need for more funding to secure campuses.
school districts must complete before the start of the 2022-23 school year. Those actions include conducting safety audits of all school facilities, inspecting every exterior door, convening each district’s safety and security committee to review plans for emergencies like school shootings and training all staff, including substitutes, on safety procedures for their campus and district.
The law provided an annual allotment per student to fund school safety, such as training and new equipment. Under the law, school districts must adopt an emergency operations plan that addresses multiple threats and submit this in a safety and security audit to the Texas School Safety Center for review.

Olguin acknowledged the costs of staying up to date with the latest security technology that will ensure SAISD is “a safe and conducive learning environment for our students and for our staff members.” He said more funding is needed for security features like doorbell cameras where campus visitors have to check in before they can enter, surveillance cameras and hallway monitors.
