Students at a Texas school grieved by one of the worst child murders in recent US history returned to school Tuesday under tight security.
On May 24 in the town of Uvalde, an 18-year-old opened fire at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers.
This massacre, which had deeply dismayed the Americans, was accompanied by a controversy over the ease with which the murderer had been able to access the establishment and especially the time it took the police – more than an hour – to enter the class and shoot him down. . .
Back to school postponed for a month
Classes had not resumed and the start of the school year was postponed for a month to better prepare for the reception of the still traumatized students.
The decision was made to stop using the Teatro Carnicería building and for this reason the return to classes was organized in another school compound, located one kilometer away.
Robb School has deployed an important system designed to reassure families and reinforce security conditions.
Mental health counselors and security guards.
Among them, a fence to delimit the limits of the school and remotely filter people who can access the establishment, surveillance cameras and several security patrols.
The elementary school also reported the presence of mental health counselors and security guards.
Whether these devices will be enough to reassure parents and children remains to be seen. Several families, for example, told CNN they were still reluctant to send their children to school, saying the psychological wounds were still too strong.
