State Rep. Erin Zwiener (D-Driftwood) will host a town hall on school safety.
The San Marcos Safe Texas Town Hall will take place Tuesday at Goodnight Middle School — 1301 State Highway 123. During the meeting, the community will have a chance to hear about the overall efforts to protect children in schools as well as address concerns.
“We’re going to hear from [San Marcos CISD], law enforcement and first responders about what emergency plans are already in place and what adjustments they are considering,” Zwiener said. “We’re going to hear from mental health professionals about what services are already in place, what else is being considered and how to talk to your kids about gun violence. Also, going to provide just a legislative baseline of what work we’ve done previously on school safety on everything from mental health in schools to gun safety. And, give a legislative perspective about what questions we’re going to face next session. There’s also a lot of time set out for parents and other community members to share their own thoughts and ask questions. We really wanted to make sure people had a chance to be heard. Most have a lot of feelings after Uvalde.”
