Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas shared 40 recommendations to enhance school safety as part of a School and Firearm Safety Action Plan on Wednesday, a move that comes after a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, earlier this month.

According to Abbott, the plan will enhance campus security programs, bolster firearm safety, and support mental health assessments to help determine if students could harm others. The plan also calls for additional help for law enforcement officials monitoring possible threats that come through on social media.
