"Texas Schools Face New Security and Content Regulations"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a new law mandating all public schools to have at least one armed security officer or armed school personnel at each public school campus statewide. The law will also allot $330 million to build security centers on campuses, mandate annual audits of school protocol, and require staff members to get mental health training. Some people believe adding armed personnel to campuses would increase protection, while others disagree and worry about the burden of funding an additional salary falling on schools and local taxpayers.

11am on Sunday: America's Most Dangerous Hour

11 o'clock on Sunday morning is now one of the most dangerous hours of the week in America, pastors and church security officials say. Churches have long been concerned about losing members as church attendance plummets across denominations. Now they have a new worry: protecting those members that remain. Houses of faith are one of the few public communal spaces in the country that were created to embrace all comers, including broken or disturbed people on the fringes of society.

Texas House approves multiple school safety bills in response to Uvalde shooting.

The Texas House has passed legislation aimed at improving school safety, including hiring at least one armed security officer at every campus, providing incentives for school employees to get certified to carry a weapon, and installing silent panic alert buttons in every classroom. The bill also requires regular safety inspections of school buildings and gives grants to students who want to attend another school district if their current one is not complying with safety standards. The cost of the bill would be raised from $300 million to about $1.6 billion. School safety is a priority for both chambers this session after the Uvalde shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead last year.
