On Wednesday, the Texas governor announced he would add more police to the school district where police horrendously failed to respond to a mass shooting.
“The beginning of a new school year should be an exciting time for students and teachers, and the State of Texas is working to provide that for the Uvalde community,” Abbott said via statement. “As a new school year begins, we must ensure students, parents, and all dedicated school personnel can look forward to new opportunities to learn and grow. Texas will keep working to provide all available support and resources to the Uvalde community as they continue to heal.
Abbott’s statement claims that the additional security presence was at the behest of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent, Dr. Hal Harrell, in an effort to ensure students, parents and faculty feel safer as the start of the new school year approaches.
