(Andrew Jose, The Western Journal) The Uvalde, Texas, Consolidated Independent School District board has decided that Police Chief Peter Arredondo will keep his job — at least, for now.

The board took no action against Arredondo during its special meeting Friday.
The board meeting, at which Arredondo was not present, took place 10 days after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Rolando Ramos carried out the nation’s second-deadliest school shooting inside Robb Elementary School, slaughtering 19 children and two adults.
As incident commander during the May 24 shooting, Arredondo made the fateful decision to delay officers’ response while the gunman continued killing and wounding children inside the school.
The police chief deemed Ramos a “barricaded subject” and ordered officers to wait for backup instead of storming the school and engaging the mass murderer.

Arredondo’s decision during the shooting and reports alleging that he then dragged his feet in cooperating with state investigators have raised questions about the chief’s competence and led to calls for his resignation from local residents and observers nationwide.
Although the agenda did not mention Arredondo by name, the employees that could have been addressed included the police chief.
Despite potential action against Arredondo being on the agenda, the board refused to make a decision against the chief.
Only two residents spoke at the meeting, according to the Tribune: Dawn Pointevent and Angela Turner.
Pointevent said that her 7-year-old son, who is slated to join Robb Elementary the following year, was “deathly afraid” of going to school, according to the Tribune.
Arredondo, a veteran law enforcement officer, became chief of the school district’s police force in 2020 after working in law enforcement for 30 years.
He has also been sworn in as a city council member a week after the shooting despite the swirling controversy surrounding his decision during shooting.
During a Wednesday interview with CNN, the chief sidestepped substantive questions regarding the police response that day. He refused to provide details, citing respect for the grieving families.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
