DALLAS — As pressure from the community builds, Uvalde school officials have scheduled a special meeting to vote on the firing of Pete Arredondo after the district’s superintendent recommended his termination.
The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District’s board of trustees will meet for a hearing Saturday at 9 a.m., but Arredondo could resign as the district’s police chief before then.
Arredondo was placed on administrative leave June 22 after weeks of rising criticism surrounding the law enforcement response at Robb Elementary School on May 24, when 19 children and two teachers were killed in Texas’ deadliest school shooting.
