In the wake of the HISD police chief saying it is unprepared for an active shooter situation, at least one trustee wants more research done before OK'ing the measures.
HISD Superintendent Milliard House II said he believed that the officers would not be prepared after studying the Uvalde scenario and wants to approve training and $100,000 worth of equipment.Just two weeks before school is slated to start in Texas' largest school district, the Houston Independent School District superintendent and police chief have said schools are unprepared for an active shooter situation.
He's asking board members to approve an estimated $100,000 worth of equipment. That covers ammunition, along with 200 rifles and 200 ballistic plate shields. The chief said the district needs to increase real-life shooting scenario training and better arm officers.
