Every Texas school district is required by law to form a safety and security committee, including school board members, law enforcement and medical professionals, a teacher, and parents. Writing in the Texas Observer, Arjun Sharda argues that students — the people most directly affected by school safety policies — are conspicuously absent from these required panels, and calls that exclusion a meaningful gap in how districts approach safety.
Why now: Ongoing debate over school safety policy in Texas has put a spotlight on who gets a say in district safety decisions.
