Despite a post-Uvalde push to place officers on every campus for safety, the report reveals a lack of oversight and inadequate training: Texas requires only 20 hours of training, far below the national standard of 40, while states like Kentucky demand 120. Staff are also often untrained on when to call police, leading to dangerous escalations. Reporters are still seeking official responses and continue to track the fallout.
