Texas Republicans want to allow school staff to carry guns on school grounds for security. A.J. Louderbeck with the Sheriff s Association of Texas supports the bill. But Kathy Martinez-Prather, director of the Texas School Safety Center, told a committee hearing it should be up to local districts whether they want to take part in the program. She says it may make sense in rural areas, but it may not be appropriate in urban settings, where police can quickly respond.

The San Marcos City Council approved a resolution in support of the possible establishment of an Indigenous culture center at its meeting on Feb. 24.Â
The resolution proposes the possibility of the Indigenous Cultures Institute and the city co-applying for Hays County Parks and Open Space Bond funding and for city property to be used for the project. At this time, the approval of the resolution does not commit the city to provide any funding or land and only supports the Indigenous Cultures Institute as it pursues funding with Hays County.
