Security is a major concern for school districts. It has to be, in light of the many campus shootings that have occurred over the years. Just last week there was yet another rampage on school grounds near Seattle. Closer to home, there's heightened awareness, as Taylor Chapman tells us in this report.
The San Marcos Police Department has trained for such an event. Law enforcement officials say they have procedures in place to handle threatening situations. They don't want a Sandy Hook or a Columbine here. A recent incident at a San Marcos middle school only confirmed the need to be prepared.

San Marcos and Hays County are part of a Standard Response Protocol, which helps coordinate the way officials respond to emergencies. Teachers, parents and students are also involved. The goal is to minimize the harm caused by life-threatening situations.
