Among the proposals is a bipartisan bill to put "panic buttons" in every classroom in Texas. FOX 7 Austin's John Krinjak has details.As the new legislative session begins at the Texas Capitol, school safety is one of the top items on the agenda. Among the proposals is a bipartisan bill to put "panic buttons" in every classroom in Texas.
That’s why Thierry is re-introducing the Panic Button Bill, along with co-sponsor Creighton, after it fell short last session. Unlike other school safety proposals which have been more divisive, sponsors of this say they see no reason why members of both parties shouldn’t be able to get behind it."I feel that this bill is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is a life-saving issue," said Thierry.
