Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, by ordering “in-person, unannounced, random intruder detection audits” at schools.
The idea is to pinpoint access points and see how quickly an intruder could enter a school building without being stopped.
“The State must work beyond writing words on paper and ensuring that the laws are being followed,” Abbott wrote in a letter to Texas School Safety Center director Kathy Martinez-Prather. “It must also ensure that a culture of constant vigilance is engrained in every campus and in every school district employee across the state.”
