Uvalde CISD Superintendent Hal Harrell announced Wednesday that he has placed the district’s embattled police chief, Pete Arredondo, on administrative leave.
“From the beginning of this horrible event, I shared that the district would wait until the investigation was complete before making personnel decisions,” Harrell said in release.
But the superintendent said because he’s been given no details about the investigation or received clarity about when it would be complete, he made the decision to put Arredondo on leave, effective immediately.“We will continue to seek qualified candidates to join our police department as we prepare for the new school year,” he said.
