State lawmakers are considering a school safety bill that would require at least one armed security officer on every campus in a school district. The legislation would allow the local school board to determine whether they wanted more than one officer per campus. The bill's author is State Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican from Lubbock. Burrows says this sort of security is already in place at airports and courthouses. The bill includes funding to help pay for the added personnel.
