Armed guards are now on patrol at all school campuses in Sinton, Texas.

"There's nothing that we do that is more important than keeping the kids safe. It's even more important than teaching and learning," said VanMatre.

VanMatre says the school board was able to slightly expand their budget to help hire three security guards from a local security company, one for each of the campuses.
