The Uvalde CISD school board is meeting for the first time Monday after the fallout from hiring a former DPS officer who responded to Robb Elementary on May 24th.
“This didn’t need to happen. We agree. We just wanted transparency and accountability,” Kimberly Rubio, Lexi’s mom, said.Rubio said she can feel the tension in the town.
In an email sent Friday, Uvalde CISD Superintendent Dr. Hal Harrell wrote about his 31 years in education, telling staff he wanted them to be the first to know “there will be an item in closed session to consider and discuss superintendent retirement options and transition.”Brett and Nikki Cross, who were key in the protest for accountability, both know there is pushback to Harrell’s retirement. It’s something they themselves have never asked for.
Brett is inviting those opposed to Harrell leaving to sit with them at the meeting and to talk with them. Before Monday’s meeting, Brett and Nikki are soaking in family time and celebrating their kid’s birthday. They’re all thankful Brett is back home.
