\"\"Gov. Greg Abbott signs new law mandating armed security at all Texas schools<\/a><\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Security at your child\u2019s school will look different this upcoming school year.<\/p>\n

During a meeting at the capital, Gov. Greg Abbott signed\u00a0HB 3 into law<\/a>\u00a0mandating all public schools to have at least one armed security officer or armed school personnel at each public school campus statewide.<\/p>\n

According to the Intercultural Development Research Center, the price tag to pay an armed security guard for an entire school year\u00a0could cost up to $100,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad my tax money is going towards that. I support it,\u201d San Antonio resident April Reyna said.<\/p>\n

This new law<\/a>\u00a0would allot $330 million to build security centers on campuses. Legislators in Austin claim this new law will strengthen the state\u2019s School Safety Center, responsible for disseminating safety information to all schools. The law will also mandate annual audits of school protocol and require staff members to get mental health training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to provide the support systems to our personnel working in our communities,\u201d San Antonio resident Jenny Kazmierczak said.<\/p>\n

Some people believe adding armed personnel to campuses would increase protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we have the good guys armed, I think it would minimize deaths,\u201d Reyna said.<\/p>\n

However, others disagree.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that there are other measures to address this problem. This is not the isolated solution,\u201d Kazmierczak said.<\/p>\n

As concerns grow, some people are wondering whether some schools will have to dip into their own locally generated revenue to keep the burden of funding an additional salary from falling on schools and local taxpayers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
