Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will unveil a school safety plan this week, compiled from three round table discussions hosted earlier this month in the wake of a shooting at Santa Fe High School.
Abbott will reveal the proposals at two separate events Wednesday, in Dallas and San Marcos, according to a report from the Texas Tribune. Some will be implemented before the new school year, while others will rely upon legislative action, according to the report.
“I am seeking the best solutions to make our schools more secure and to keep our communities safe,” Abbott said in a May 21 news release. “Working together, we can ensure a safe learning environment for students and safer communities for all Texans.”
The three round tables, held last week at the state capitol, remained closed to media. Abbott told CNN, however, the discussion focused on preventative measures, including student engagement, implementing a student reporting system and mental health evaluations.
