An undercover inspector posing as an intruder was able to access a school cafeteria during a December security audit in Uvalde, Texas, the school district's superintendent has revealed.
on May 24, when a shooter entered through a door that was supposed to be locked and killed 19 students and two teachers.
The inspector noticed that the door did not latch closed unless the door was slammed, according to the audit. A delivery was in progress during the audit, and they were able to slip in the faulty door as it was left ajar. The fake intruder made it to the cafeteria, which was empty, before being stopped and questioned by school staff members.
The other two schools that were part of the audit passed, with 100% of their exterior doors locked, according to Patterson. The interim superintendent said they plan to have an additional security training day for teachers and staff the day before school restarts in January.The audit was part of a program started in October by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to randomly test Texas schools' fortitude against outside threats, something prompted by the Robb shooting.
