The superintendent of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is recommending the termination of Pete Arredondo, the district’s police chief. | via TPRNews
At a public forum on Monday, Rosa Arizmendi was one of the many people that asked school leaders why they hadn’t fired Arredondo yet. She is the great-aunt of Eliahna Garcia, one of the victims, and has kids of her own in the district.
“What is it exactly that will have to be brought up for you guys to decide that he should no longer be employed?” Arizmendi asked. “His top job description was a chief. He should have been commander. He should not have questioned or doubted that he should have been the commander because that is his job description as the chief of UCISD.
Two days after families lambasted school district officials for their inaction, the Uvalde school district has scheduled a board meeting to vote on his termination. According to the board agenda, Superintendent Hal Harrell is recommending Arredondo be fired for good cause. That vote is scheduled to take place on Saturday at 9 a.m.
