During the 88th Texas Legislative session, lawmakers allocated $800 million in funds to go toward meeting new safety standards, such as the force-resistant window film, through the Safety and Facility Enhancements grant.
Per the Texas Education Agency, RRISD has received over $1.22 million in funds through this grant for safety improvements.
