With August 10 approaching fast, and in the wake of the Uvalde tragedy, Fort Bend ISD officials have implemented some new measures to combat potential security breaches and keep children safe at school.
The Texas Education Agency introduced new requirements after Uvalde to"collectively improve the level of safety at all Texas public schools."
The TEA also requires school districts to conduct Exterior Door Safety Audits. Schools must have double doors with a sturdy metal beam, reinforced doorframes, automatic door closing devices, automatic door locks, emergency opening devices and more. Five of the 28 initiatives are under evaluation, and one, issuing IDs to students, is incomplete due to logistics issues caused by COVID-19.
In November 2021, 89 police officers from eight different agencies went through the active shooting training, Rider said.“Safety and security is like a jigsaw puzzle,” he said. “A piece is important, but it doesn't give you the full picture. You must put all the pieces in the right place before you can begin to see the full picture.”
