UCISD Superintendent Hal Harrell has announced that he will retire just as the district suspended “all activities of the Uvalde CISD Police Department for a period of time” amid criticism of their response to the May 24 massacre.

In an email to staff, Harrell said that board members will “discuss superintendent retirement options and transition” during a meeting on Monday. No timeline was given.

His announcement came shortly after UCISD announced that “recent developments” led to the suspension of the police department. Lt. Miguel Hernandez and Ken Mueller have been placed on administrative leave, UCISD said.

2. I agree.

Parents protested for more than a week in front of the UCISD administrative offices. Their efforts paid off with this - but there is a long road ahead.

Uvalde is a good ole boys network like you would not believe.

4. Me, too.

But the parents have a long haul. Most of the other people down there are already starting with the “just move on” rhetoric and criticizing the parents for disrupting the safety of the school.

I don’t know HOW the parents are supposed to move on, and I can’t imagine any parent feeling their child would be safe at a school protected by the same officers that failed to act on May 24th.

These parents are steadfast and determined and I hope they stay strong. As I said up thread “the good ole boys network is in full swing in Uvalde” and it will not be easy for these parents. I think they realize that.
