Dallas ISD's new superintendent discusses if school security is an issue after Uvalde shooting

Dallas ISD's next superintendent, Dr. Stephanie Elizalde, has seen it all -- anything and everything over her more than three decades of being an educator. And Elizalde says these days, she never stops thinking about school safety. “It consumes all of our day. And it consumes all of our nights,” Elizalde said on Inside Texas Politics.

In the aftermath of the Uvalde massacre, Texas leaders have put forward a number of proposals to secure our schools. Some Republicans, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, have pushed for a single entrance at schools. The current Austin ISD superintendent says that would be a logistical nightmare and says just think about the TSA waits at an airport. “So, imagine then, you know, I've got a high school here in Austin, let's say Bowie High School. There's 3,500 students. One entrance for 3,500 students? What time am I going to start school,” the superintendent asked out loud. “And again, to me these seem very reactive. This is about what do we do after the fact.”
