Safety plans fall short in 78 Texas districts

From The Austin American-Statesman: Thirty-eight Texas school districts did not submit required safety audits that could help prevent gun massacres like the one in Connecticut, and another 40 did not fully comply with state safety rules, Attorney General Greg Abbott says. Most of the districts on the list are small, though some larger districts made the list, including Beaumont. Abbott is demanding that all districts quickly comply with state law that requires public school districts to adopt a “multihazard emergency operations plan,” and train employees, conduct drills and coordinate with law enforcement.
