The only solution to school safety is addressing gun policy and mental health together, SXSW panelists said. They cautioned against doubling down on surveillance technology. “Students shouldn’t feel like suspects,” one school safety expert said.

Kimberly Mata-Rubio sat before a crowd on Thursday at the Austin Convention Center, hands tightly clasped to tell a story about the darkest day of her life, when she knew her daughter was one of the shooting victims at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

“The days after were just filled with questions. How did this happen to her? How did this happen to me? How did this happen to us?” Mata-Rubio said while her voice quivered with emotion. Nine months ago, she found herself part of an ever-growing community of parents who have lost their children to school shootings.
