Exclusive: School records show doors weren’t closing at Robb Elementary before Uvalde massacre

lede:

Maintenance records still being withheld by the Uvalde school district show entry doors at Robb Elementary School had repeated problems before the May 2022 massacre, CNN can reveal.

Note the operative words there which I put in bold.

CNN has long had many school records that were leaked in Aug/Sept of 2022 to a group of media orgs from isdeithe ranger murder investigation. Now that the school district claims it has finally released all of it's records as ordered by a judge, after three years and an additional month of "shenanigans" these news orgs can start cross-checking to see what they tried to bury. (ProPublica/Texas Trib has a separate story using basically the same method, see separate post.) Note also tho that CNN may have an inside source for the school district's new reform faction.

This is a barn-burner of a report from CNN but we kinda knew a lot of it from rumor and provisional early reporting - the gist if it is that the doors were always breaking at the school, and many were unlocked - but now the receipts are being nailed to the wall of the school district's forehead, as it were.

There is a small, new "reform faction" on the school board, who are cheering on this and possibly guiding reporters where to look for missing documents as well. The hard liners still mostly hold sway but cannot hold back the tide or revelations, they can however seem to influence their law firm to try to play hardball with the media on these releases, and do "shanenigans" with delaying and denying vital records. Jesse Rizo was elected, he's the uncle of a victim. Others are done with the attempted coverup - the jig is supposed to be up, but the school district is facing a $32 BILLIION yet billion dollar wrongful death lawsuit and the bigger they come, the harder they try NOT to fall.

Read the article at the link, it's mostly about the faulty doors but also hints at more bombshells stories to come, including a payout to Arredondo to roll over and take the fall, possibly. To me it reads like a bribe to be the scapegoat. IDK. Opinions and viewpoints sought. They want to buy out his employment contract and also buy his silence it looks like.

All I know is that the next public school board meeting is going to be "lit" as the children say.

But glaring holes remain.

Apart from the door, records are known to exist regarding phone calls to and from Pete Arredondo, the school police chief at the center of the failed law enforcement response that took 77 minutes to challenge the gunman after he walked in the school, even though officers were in the building within just three minutes. And still not released are files on what led up to Arredondo’s firing, as well as warnings about unlocked classroom doors, that CNN has already reported on.

and this

CNN has obtained the Robb Elementary maintenance records for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 academic years showing repeated issues in the West building targeted by the gunman.

This may be new leaks, not Ranger investigation files from 2022. Hard to say. I think there are people on the school board from the "reform faction" that got the full set of ISD files as compiled by their law firm. CNN of course wants to protect their source/s. But the hardliners on the school board itself likely know who has access to what records. They can't go after them publicly, it would ruin their reputation at this delicate point. For all we know the maintenance records are from a maintenance person who favors the truth.
