The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is searching for an interim police chief as Chief Pete Arredondo is on unpaid leave while he awaits a termination hearing, school board President Luis Fernandez said, according to the local online newspaper Uvalde Hesperian.
Fernandez provided the update at a Rotary Club meeting last week, the paper reports. The board president also shared information of safety and security measures being implemented for the new school year.
"We had 16 applicants for UCISD police department," Fernandez said, according to the paper. An interview committee is reviewing the candidates and assessing background checks, he reportedly said.
Hours after President Joe Biden touted its success during his commencement speech at West Point last Saturday, White House staffers learned that the temporary pier the military had just constructed into Gaza was falling apart. Four Army vessels had been beached, two in Gaza and two along the coast of Israel.
