Episode Details

School districts are ramping up safety measures for the new year, tackling everything from electric vehicle bans to mental health funding and emergency response protocols. Katy ISD has outright banned e-motorcycles on campus, while Houston ISD urges students to ride safely—both chiefs stressing internal enforcement over police involvement. With electric vehicle fires posing serious risks, schools are being advised to keep these devices away from buildings. Meanwhile, staffing shortages plague school security, as districts struggle to meet mandated officer levels due to budget constraints. Mental health support is also gaining urgency, with leaders calling for legislative backing to expand crisis intervention teams. And in a major step forward, new mandates require clear cardiac arrest procedures—including immediate 911 calls, CPR, and AED use—for all after-school programs.
