78 Texas School Districts Without Safety Plan

TEXAS
An audit of public schools in Texas, ordered by Governor Perry, found 78 school districts to be missing safety plans, or to have incomplete plans.

The majority of these districts were small, rural districts.

The Attorney General, Greg Abbott, said, "It doesn’t matter if a school district is very small,” he said. “The danger their students face is very large.”

Governor Perry ordered the audit after the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack.
