The firing of Uvalde's embattled school police chief hasn't satisfied or reassured many Uvalde residents as a new school year approaches.
Uvalde County Commissioner Ronnie Garza talks about the state of the community, Thursday, Aug. 25, 2022, in Uvalde, Texas. The community, three months out from the shootings at Robb Elementary, is preparing for classes to resume in the coming weeks.– Even though Uvalde's school police chief is now gone, Mario Jimenez doesn't feel any safer about sending his 10-year-old son back to class for the first time since his teacher was shot at Robb Elementary School.
Jimenez is putting his son back in the district, this time with an iPhone so he can track his location and have him phone for help if needed. His son’s teacher, Elsa Avila, was wounded in attack. Virtual schooling is another option, but a new Texas law passed during the pandemic caps the number of students who can learn at home to 10% of a district’s enrollment. The Uvalde school district has not requested a waiver, according to the Texas Education Agency.The district is installing higher fences, more security cameras and spreading more than 30 state troopers on campuses across the small South Texas town.
“They failed me, they failed us. I don’t know that I will ever be the same after this as far as law enforcement," she said.Arredondo's dismissal Wednesday followed months of pressure from Uvalde residents and investigations that revealed how nearly 400 law enforcement officers on the scene waited outside for more than an hour before they took down the 18-year-old gunman.
