EL PASO, Texas (KVIA)- With the constant news of school threats, the level of interest has slumped for potential Borderland teachers.

ABC-7 spoke to UTEP Education majors who say they have reconsidered their career choice due to safety concerns.

"It does worry me. I worry about how I'm going to control student behavior in the future, but I know with the right programs and the right workshops that I'm in, I'll be able to handle it better," said Iran Romero, a UTEP senior.

ABC-7 is waiting to hear back from Borderland colleges on how they are addressing concerns.
