After a shooting in Uvalde killed 19 students and 2 teachers earlier this year, the school district is working to make security improvements before classes start back up next week.
It's a taste of what next week will hold.
"A little more nervous than normal, but he's got a good teacher," said Angela Potter, a mother of two Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District students. "I went to Morales yesterday, and they didn't have anything improved over there that I saw," said Anson Bills, a father of three UCISD students. "This morning we made him virtual. Yeah, that's how I feel about that."Uvalde high school will be measured, and a timeline made for when their fencing will be put up."I trust this fence; it's the school board I don't trust," Bills said.
