As the Uvalde CISD school board met to accept superintendent Hal Harrell's retirement, families of Robb victim's felt heartbroken their community never showed this kind of support for them.
”Change protocol; I think we need to change laws. We need to quit pointing fingers and blame, and we need to start moving on and just fixing the laws and protocols,” Ogburn said.
“Twenty-one murdered teachers and students wasn’t enough for outrage to outrage our Uvalde strong community. But your retirement is. You’re very blessed,” Berlinda Arreola, Amerie Jo’s grandma said. She spoke about the hurt caused by the community directing hatred towards grieving families over a decision Harrell stated he made himself.
Kimberly and Felix walked out, they were met outside by what appeared to be pushback from supporters of Harrell.“Dr. Harrell, it’ll take us a long way in bringing this community back together,” Diana Olvedo-Karau, a supporter of the families, said.
