House lawmakers in Austin passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow school districts in rural counties to hire extra security for their campuses.
He was questioned by several lawmakers trying to gain clarity on specific details while the bill was read on the House floor.
Rogers, one of the bill’s sponsors, said volunteers wouldn't be involved in minor disciplinary issues with students but would provide additional security at campuses and school events in case of a threat. Lawmakers clarified these volunteers would not be considered active officers but would still undergo training and be authorized to carry a handgun. They would also be protected from liability unless there was gross negligence, just like a school employee.
“And it's strictly voluntary and to be determined by each school [district] whether they want to adopt this program or not,” he said."It's designed specifically to be very flexible and particularly for rural schools that don't have the resources to have other forms of security."
