Issue Position: Enforce Policies to Improve Child Safety in Schools

Issue Position

We should feel that our children are safe when they attend our public and private schools. When Senator Hinojosa learned that a simple machine called an Automatic External Defibrillator, or AED, could save hundreds of lives, he authored SB 7. Now every school in Texas will have an AED so no more lives are tragically lost to sudden cardiac arrest. He also sponsored legislation that will expand criminal background checks on adults who come into contact with our children at school, and he passed legislation that mandates school districts address teen dating violence. With a comprehensive background in criminal justice, Senator Hinojosa will continue to make safety in schools one of his top priorities.
