Perhaps they found issue with the language in the legislation or possibly the amount of money proposed or even how it was being funded.
I think it would be great to have extra funding for those things, both being very important. Security is a huge necessity in schools and school counselors are so overrun. We were just approved to get a social worker in our building in Feb last year and it's really great to have someone else in the building to help with ongoing family and student needs besides the counselor (who might as well be wonder woman with all she is tasked with and handles.)
Maybe they saw the Abbott Elementary episode where the principal spent all the money on dumb stuff (a new sign, getting her hair and nails done, etc). This episode was hilarious!
I’m sure the person that objected had a reason, maybe you could just ask?
EVERYTHING Ted Cruz does is theater, because he thinks he can be president.

I would like to read more about this before offering thoughts.
Our district received money (designated for mental health) awhile ago and significantly increased support staff in this area.
Your post is too vague. Please give more specifics.
I feel like I need to read more about this particular topic before I can give my two cents about it. Be right back, researching..

Me too!
I think the issue is that the funds would be going towards armed security officers and while that is nice, we need to also get to the root of the issue. More guns in school is not going to stop some disturbed person from shooting up a school. Better security measures are necessary, security is necessary but more support staff is necessary to address mental health issues before it gets out of control. Better Interventions need to be in place for students with mental health issues.

Thank you for sharing. I was just trying to find the article.
Hello! This is interesting. Do you have any link as to where I can read about this more? Thanks.
The reasoning here is quite simple:
The only school-safety legislation Democrats will approve is based in gun control. In their minds, the only solution to school shootings is depriving people of their guns. Everything else is "clickbait" or "political theater."
I have to admit, however, that Cruz denying funding to schools that "teach CRT or advocate for abortion" is pretty stupid. The CHILDREN at those schools still need to be protected. Senator Murphy probably took umbrage with that language, thus fueling his disapproval of the bill.
I long for the days when Congress worked for the good of the People. Party politics are so divisive and destructive, and this story is a clear example of how that is the case.
