PASADENA, Texas – Sen. John Cornyn hosted a roundtable and news conference Wednesday in Pasadena to discuss the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which provided $10 million in grants to Houston-area schools for campus safety. This law also included a $10.8 billion investment into mental health for Americans. Cornyn helped create the legislation, which was signed into law in 2022. It gave resources to other schools around Texas as well. Several officials with the Pasadena Independent School District, Pasadena Memorial High School, Katy ISD, University of Houston-Victoria, Galena Park ISD, University of Houston-Clear Lake, Alief ISD, Spring Branch ISD and students attended the meeting.
