House Bill 3 calls for a police officer, school security officer, guardian or district employee to be armed on every campus in Texas.
calls for a police officer, school security officer, guardian or district employee to be armed on every campus."Now who works at a school? Who would be considered a school district employee? A teacher? So yes, it can in fact and very well may, in many of your communities, arm teachers. That is the truth," said Ramos.State Rep. Vicki Goodwin questioned how districts would have trained, armed personnel on every campus when many municipalities have a shortage of police officers.
"I think in my district in particular, AISD, their preference would be to have school resource officers, as opposed to having armed teachers. How are we going to fill those positions? How are we going to have a school resource officer on every single campus when we can't fill our law enforcement peace officer positions already?" she asked.
"We are putting $1.6B into schools this session. They will have tools to basically expand and meet this the way they need to meet it," said State Rep. Penny Morales . Morales said it was her understanding that Uvalde families wanted some new laws to help slow guns getting into young hands."Were you aware that the biggest request that those families had was to raise the age to 21?" she asked.
"There could possibly be more guns on our school campuses, how are we going to make sure that those people armed on school campuses are making them safer, not making them more dangerous?" asked Rep. Goodwin.A vote on final passage in the House will be held on Tuesday.
