Legislature Passes School Safety Bill

A school safety bill is on its way to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. The Texas Legislature passed legislation on Sunday that will increase state funding to improve campus security, better identify students who could be dangerous, and require more suicide prevention and emergency response training for school employees. The legislation was filed in response to the shooting at Santa Fe High School last year, and passed both the House and Senate with huge margins. It calls for spending 110-million-dollars over the next two years.
