The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is searching for an interim police chief as Chief Pete Arredondo is on unpaid leave while he awaits a termination hearing.
Fernandez provided the update at a Rotary Club meeting last week, the paper reports. The board president also shared information of safety and security measures being implemented for the new school year."We had 16 applicants for UCISD police department," Fernandez said, according to the paper. An interview committee is reviewing the candidates and assessing background checks, he reportedly said.
The school board has postponed Arredondo's termination hearing twice because of requests from his attorney involving his right to due process. Mostly recently, the board pushed off the meeting due to a"scheduling conflict" which prevented the hearing from being held on August 4, the district said. A new hearing date was not set at the time.
