School is back in session for kids in the Fort Bend, Humble, and Magnolia ISD's. This is the second year schools to have armed security on every campus.
Fort Bend is complying, as is Magnolia. But many others including HISD are not in compliance. So, why not? What went wrong?
"The funding wasn't there," State Senator Charles Perry told KTRH. "The state tries to do unfunded mandates. This was one a large dollar cost item."
Perry says that the legislature will try to correct that next year, after school choice passes
Once that is done, I think you will see a re-direct of monies to fill those gaps," Perry stated.
A recent study found that almost half of all Texas school districts adopted a good cause exception to opt out of the law if they lacked funding or personnel.
