School safety is a top concern for Texas parents, yet only about half of our school campuses currently have an armed protector on site. On this episode of Parent Empowerment, Mandy Drogin sits down with returning guest Rob McClelland, Dripping Springs ISD Trustee and Board Member of the Texas State School Safety Center to discuss the safety of our schools.

They dive deep into HB3’s requirement for an armed officer on every campus, the massive funding challenges districts face, and the “good cause exemption” options now available. Mandy and Rob also unpack the critical physical security upgrades happening right now and the day-to-day threats facing kids like the exploding vaping and fentanyl crisis infecting our schools.
