Austin school district leaders want to spend $1.7 million in its upcoming budget on more police officers and cameras, enhanced background checks, and a bus tracking system. Superintendent Paul Cruz said, “The safety of our students is our most important priority.” Five officers would be added to the Austin Independent School District’s 78-officer police department and more cameras and call boxes would be installed at all high schools and middle schools in the district.
