The Uvalde school board voted unanimously Monday evening to begin the search for Superintendent Hal Harrell's successor.
The Uvalde school superintendent is the latest official to leave his job following May's school shooting at Robb Elementary. His retirement was made official Monday night.Uvalde's school district superintendent announced Monday he plans to resign by the end of the academic year, following months of community outrage over the handling of the United States' deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade.
Harrell, law enforcement, the school board, and other school officials have faced heavy criticism over their actions -- and inaction -- during the massacre of 19 fourth-graders and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. Officers allowed the shooter to remain inside a classroom for more than 70 minutes.Texas lawmakers issued a damning report this summer that found "systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making" by both police and school officials.
Harrell's resignation statement was posted on his wife's Facebook page because he said he doesn't have an account. "I have been blessed to work among amazing educators and staff who believe in education for more than 30 years, which have all been in our beautiful community. These next steps for our future are being taken after much reflection, and is completely my choice," he wrote.
