A termination hearing to determine the future of the Uvalde, Texas, school district's police chief, Pete Arredondo, was postponed for the second time on Wednesday.
The hearing, which was scheduled for Thursday, had already been delayed once from its original date of July 23."However, to once again ensure Pete Arredondo’s due process rights are met, the district has agreed to postpone the second date of the hearing at the request of Pete Arredondo’s attorney due to a scheduling conflict," a Uvalde school district spokesperson told Fox News.
"Because of the lack of clarity that remains and the unknown timing of when I will receive the results of the investigation, I have made the decision to place Chief Arredondo on administrative leave effective on this date," said Uvalde school district Superintendent Hal Harrell in a statement on June 22.
