Nearly three months since the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, the Texas Education Agency says school safety remains its top priority.
Academic growth and preparing students for the future is the agency’s mission. However, keeping students safe is a must, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath said.
Morath detailed the agency’s steps to protect Texas children in their schools.
“We — public education — have literally checked every exterior door of every single facility in the state of Texas to make sure that they close, lock, and perform properly. Schools all over the state of Texas are reevaluating their access control procedures,” Morath said.
