From anxious and sad to excited and happy, emotions were running high on the first day of school for Uvalde CISD.
Some parents expressed that they still felt uneasy for the start of the school year. The district returned to class just three months after the tragedy at Robb Elementary school where 19 students and two teachers were shot and killed.
One parent dropping off a student at Dalton Elementary school said that the new non-scalable fencing put up around the school eased some of her security concerns.“Better, a lot better,” Trista Leal, a Uvalde CISD parent said, “So they have it here it gives me more of a peace-of-mind.” “I’m nervous because it’s just a new school year and it was a short amount of time to get a lot of security stuff done,” Stephanie Quiroga, Uvalde CISD parent said. “So I know they are still implementing stuff it’s just not all done yet.”
