Didn't they just give us the freedom to legalize sports gambling? Can we not add to that amount with that measure?
Those millions and funding should be ZERO issue !

Originally posted by batmaninja View PostFollowing up on Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s suggestion of hardening security at Texas schools, Texas Monthly’s R.G. Ratcliffe does the math: “The price of walk-through metal detectors range, in general, from about $3,500 to $5,000 each. There are more than 9,100 public school and charter school campuses in Texas. If metal detectors cost $4,000 each, then the total price tag for equipping the state school buildings would run about $36.4 million.”
These are some interesting figures (for about half of a HS football stadium, we can get metal detectors). I can also see how it could create bottle necks that would make it easier for a shooter to just attack from the outside. A stop and frisk could be a lot cheaper than detectors and probably just as big of a deterrent.
Schools in this state **** away 4 times that much on iPads, landscaping, and organic options in the cafeteria… I don't want to hear about the price.
