Uvalde school officials told residents at a town hall Monday that they don’t know yet whether officers who will be stationed as security at campuses this year were part of the delayed response to Texas’ deadliest school shooting in May.

who was in a position of power. The House committee’s report painted a damning portrayal of a school district that didn’t strictly adhere to its safety plan and a police response that disregarded its own active-shooter training.

Diana Oveldo-Karau, a lifelong Uvalde resident, told trustees that some of those officers could be ones who were among those that waited more than an hour to confront the gunman. Also discussed Monday were plans to use $15,000 in grant funding to do Wi-Fi audits. The House committee’s investigation also found that the district’s emergency management alert system isn’t always effective. It operates by sending out warnings online to teachers and faculty, many of whom access it through a smartphone app.

Harrell also said the district plans to upgrade door locks, add more fencing and increase the number of cameras in school buildings. Multiple witnesses told the House committee that Robb employees often left doors unlocked, while teachers would prop open doors. This was partly because of a shortage of keys.

the Uvalde school board trustees have the answer, sadly it's yes. so why hasn't TX provided qualified security officers ? 💔inTX

I don't know how the Uvalde school board, police department, and TX governor could have made a catastrophic event worse, but they seem determined to do so.

Stupid useless cops are good for nothing. Give citizens their guns back and let us police ourselves!

Uvalde needs to clean house, from top to bottom. Greg Abbott needs to be retired, too.

Surely they wouldn’t have the hide to attend there, would they?

Flamingogrrl pretty simple question isn't it? seems like a lie.

Man that board is stupid!
