DALLAS — School districts should conduct weekly checks of exterior doors to ensure they are secure, Gov. Greg Abbott told the state’s education commissioner in a letter sent Thursday.
Abbott’s directive comes after news that the Uvalde shooter entered through a closed exterior door at Robb Elementary School last week before carrying out the deadliest school shooting in state history.
Reports initially emerged that he entered through a door that was propped open, although that claim has now been walked back.
