Dallas ISD Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde acknowledged how much things have changed in regard to school safety, especially in the last few years. The new leader of the school district talked about how she intends to protect students.

In addition to at least two school shooting drills at each campus a year, Elizalde talked about the need for parents to monitor their childrens' social media.

"I'm going to ask everyone, we all have to work together to make sure our schools continue to remain safe so we're not having a press conference about a tragedy that's occurred in our schools. It will take all of us," she told reporters.

Elizalde also thanked voters for approving a bond that fueled millions in safety and security upgrades such as: video doorbells, access key cards and secure vestibules. "I'm grateful that we're in Dallas ISD. I'm grateful we're in Dallas and I'm grateful we have our own police department," she said."I'm grateful for our community. We need everyone's assistance - and, we're going to make sure that from day one we are responsive so that we can be proactive, and so that we're not being reactive."
