Governor expected to sign bill allowing unlimited armed marshals at Texas schools
Texas is expected to approve a measure that allows school districts to deploy an unlimited number of armed marshals.
Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, is expected to sign a bill sent to him on Wednesday that removes a cap on armed guards at public schools, according to The Associated Press. Texas' current law limits the number of marshals to one per 200 students or one per building.
Texas created the school marshal program after the 2012 slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Schools in Texas weren't required to have marshals, and many that chose to add them didn't immediately do so, the AP reported. Some larger districts instead have contracts with local law enforcement agencies.
Eight students and two substitute teachers were gunned down a year ago at a high school near Houston.
