Students from Uvalde Elementary School who survived the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in May 2022 are too frightened to go back to class, but others are left with no other alternatives.
According to CNN, the new school year began for Robb Elementary School pupils on Tuesday. The majority of these children will be attending a new campus or engaging in remote learning, while a small number have obtained scholarships to attend private institutions outside the school system.
The district will also install 500 new security cameras in addition to sending 33 Texas Department of Public Safety personnel and 10 more school resource officers to the new site. According to the CNN article, none of the cops who reacted to the shooting will watch over the new school.
Despite the increased security measures that the district has implemented so far, several survivors, like second-grader Zayon Martinez, told CNN that they don’t feel secure on school.
“They’re going to have more officers,” I said as I went to chat to my kid. They’ll have a taller fence, they said. And he was having none of it “Adam Martinez, Zayon’s father, stated. “It doesn’t matter, he said. They won’t stand up for us.”
19 children and two instructors were slain in the horrific shooting on May 24. While the gunman locked himself in a classroom, at least 376 police officers reacted to the incident, with some of them waiting in the hallway for more than 70 minutes.
And other students find themselves in a horrible situation where they are too traumatised to attend class but are unable to utilise the remote learning option since both of their parents are employed locally.
“I talked to my son and daughter, and they said that they were afraid that if it happened again, they weren’t going to be protected,” Adam Martinez added. “The junior high where my daughter would be attending does not offer fencing. I’m not going to be able to persuade her to attend if there is no fence.”
