The massacre, the worst school shooting in Texas history, shocked and devastated the tightknit community of just over 15,000, where it seems everyone knows someone directly touched by the tragedy. Uvalde school district Superintendent Hal Harrell announced in June that no students will be returning to Robb Elementary, which eventually will be demolished and rebuilt. All Robb students will instead be funneled to other elementary schools in the district.
Some parents are choosing to send their children to neighboring districts or enroll them in private school, saying they can't trust the district to keep their children safe. The school board fired district Police Chief Pete Arredondo last month after Arredondo was singled out by state officials for his role in the bungled police response to the shooting.
