School districts across the state are being offered another line of defense in the event of an active shooter situation following the Uvalde school shooting that left 21 people dead.
Requirements include being an employee of a school district, having a current license to carry, being approved by a governing body, passing a psychological exam , completing the 80-hour school marshal course, submitting the school marshal appointment form and fee, and completing a 16-hour renewal course every two years, according to TCOLE.
TCOLE Deputy Chief Cullen Grissom said he wanted the simulation near Austin to highlight their program and ensure more districts know how it works.The district has its own police force, a police chief, and two officers but opted to add school marshals. Soileau would not comment as to how many school marshals his district has, he says, for security reasons.
