The Uvalde community broke ground in the school campus that will eventually replace Robb Elementary.
UVALDE, Texas — A Uvalde-area foundation wants to start construction on a new elementary school next month and held their milestone groundbreaking event for the school on Saturday. The new $60 million campus would have safety features that go above and beyond any state requirements. It will have 9-foot-tall privacy gates, keyless entry points and a specific road that would create an easier access point for first responders.
"We hope that this school will be, will continue to be, a symbol of hope and resilience in moving forward from the tragedy that happened last year," Miller said. Mata lost his daughter, Tess Marie Mata, in the shooting. Like other parents and family members, he struggles to balance the knowledge that the new campus will help Uvalde students with the understanding that it's only happening because of the tragedy. Mata said the new campus will help insure that those kids are remembered but emotions were high during the event.
