UVALDE, Texas — An undercover inspector posing as an intruder was able to access a school cafeteria during a December security audit in Uvalde, Texas, the school district's superintendent revealed Monday evening.
Student safety wasn't jeopardized, interim superintendent Gary Patterson told a surprised school board during its meeting. But the news served as a shocking reminder of what occurred at Robb Elementary School on May 24, when a shooter entered through a door that was supposed to be locked and killed 19 students and two teachers.
"That is 100% my responsibility to see that that doesn't happen," Patterson said."The delivery of goods and to loading docks was quite frankly something I overlooked, but I won't overlook it next time." In the more than six months since the Uvalde massacre, the school district has spent millions of dollars adding additional security measures. They have spent or plan to spend almost $5 million combined on stronger fencing, auto-locking doors, security cameras and additional patrols.
"I have the ability to come out here and help the community heal, help our community heal, and the ability to reestablish a good foundation for our police department," Gutierrez told KSAT.
