Gov. Greg Abbott instructs school safety officials to conduct “unannounced, random intruder” audits of Texas public schools

A police officer monitors Maplewood Elementary School in Austin a week following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.on Wednesday instructed state school security and education officials to start conducting “in-person, unannounced, random intruder detection audits on school districts” to find weak access points and see how quickly staff can enter a school building without being stopped.

“It's a recipe for an accident if there is not some coordination between the local campus or ISD and whoever's conducting the audit,” Holmes said., D-San Antonio, a member of the House Education Committee, criticized the plan. The center did not answer emailed questions. In a statement, a spokesperson said they received the letter and that the center “is designing a program and action items to specifically address the governor’s directives within the prescribed timelines.”

for districts to audit their own security practices, which state that facility staff should be unaware of the assessment and it should be unannounced. He instructed the center to alert each school district that they must meet this summer to review their emergency operations plans, including each district’s active threat plan, to ensure all staff and substitutes are trained on the plans and to conduct an assessment of building access points, including single-access-points protocols, locked instruction room door policies, visitor check-in rules, the effectiveness of exterior door locks and more by Sept. 1.

Of course Abbott is putting the responsibility of gun violence on school buildings and not the assault weapons…ugh

It’s summer break 🤣🤣

GregAbbott_TX don’t forget audits at Synagogues and churches and football stadiums and public parades and Las Vegas parking lot etc. etc.

On last day of school for the year wow very helpful

How about you create a task force that conducts unannounced audits of people that buy multiple AR-15’s and 1,000’s of rounds of ammo in the span of 4 days, to see their true intentions, so they can be stopped before harming others? 🍎🚌💔

🙄fohwtbs

Abbott wants to traumatize students even further. Children really aren’t a priority in Texas.

Feel so bad for teachers and administrators. Already under so much stress and pressure and now will have to worry about unannounced audits of people trying to enter their school and look for “weak points”

Ban assault rifles!!!

Seriously!

🙄

Abbott wants random school safety checks after Uvalde shooting“Staff should approach campuses to find weak points and how quickly they can penetrate buildings without being stopped,' Gov. Abbott wrote. Random? How about an extensive safety check. How about checking all exterior doors to ensure the lock properly. How about bullet proof windows? How about efficient training and communication with School and local police as to who has authority. This will not help! Ban assault weapons NOW!! And yet another mass shouting. This time in Tulsa. Time for Republican thoughts & prayers. Along with teachers should we not start arming doctors & nurses. Or perhaps hospitals should only have one door
