The Uvalde CISD school board met Monday night to discuss the future of their schools, including the timeline of a new elementary school.
Kerri Brady and Jeff Rodriguez presented three site options for the new campus and laid out the timeline for the project.
There will be a community advisory committee that’ll be made up of school officials, teachers, parents, a Uvalde Police Department representative, and business owners.“At that phase, the school could then be furnished with FF and E’s, furniture fixtures, and equipment, and then we could then determine when the first day of school will be,” said Huckabee Principal Jeff Rodriguez.
Monday, the school board accepted a series of donations by other schools and organizations to help with a variety of projects, including new playground equipment. The discussion fell on Layla Salazar’s and Jamilah Silguero’s birthdays, two of the children killed at Robb Elementary. They were not brought up by board members, even during the donation acceptance.“I believe the donations were appreciated by the school board, and we appreciate it as a community; we appreciate the generosity by the different organizations,” Rizo said. “Let’s not forget the reason that we got the donations, we have 21 people that are at the cemetery, and it’s on their backs.
The board met behind closed doors to discuss personnel matters; when they reconvened, no action was taken, and no further details were shared.School board is adjourned
