DALLAS — Most Texas public schools reviewed this fall passed random inspections meant to detect whether an intruder could gain access to campuses, but more than a quarter of them still need to make improvements.
Nearly 3,000 campuses underwent the surprise audits and at about 95% of them, inspectors weren’t able to get unauthorized access, according to a new report from the Texas School Safety Center.
At about 130 campuses, inspectors were able to gain unauthorized access within five minutes. They could do so within two minutes at 75 schools, the report noted.
