AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott Thursday announced the launch of Sentinel, a comprehensive system designed to enhance safety and security of students, faculty and staff in school buildings across Texas.
Sentinel is provided by the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) Office of School Safety and Security and is available to all schools in the state at no charge to the schools. Sentinel will enable robust monitoring of school systems’ implementation and operation of safety and security policies and improves the threat assessment process.
“As a new school year approaches, the safety of students, school faculty, and staff across Texas remains a top priority,” Abbott said. “To bolster school safety standards, we are launching Sentinel, a new, sweeping system to enhance the safety and security of students and teachers across our great state.”
