Texas school mandate requiring armed officers at every campus after deadly Uvalde shooting hits roadblocks

Texas schools have been unable to fulfil a mandate requiring an armed officer at every campus following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde last year.

These lawmakers even passed a law requiring the presence of armed officers, but their mandate, which took effect Friday, has run into several roadblocks such as the schools not having enough money or available personnel.

Dozens of Texas' largest school districts, responsible for educating many of the state's 5 million students, have been forced to start their new school years and reopen classrooms without meeting the state's new requirements.
