Hal Harrell, superintendent of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, announced his retirement Monday, according to a Facebook post by his wife, Donna Goates Harrell.CNN tried to ask him questions about the district hiring a former Texas Department of Public Safety trooper under investigation for her response to the Robb shooting, and he responded by saying, “I think I’m going to enjoy this right now, thank you.”When pressed further by CNN, Harrell said, “I’m going to visit (with people).”During the meeting the board went into closed session to discuss replacing Harrell and upon returning to the public portion of the meeting voted unanimously to adopt a motion to conduct a search for a new superintendent.Brett Cross, guardian of victim Uziyah Garcia, said, “I will say this, if it had been 17 white kids, all of those people out there would have been in here.“You appointed Dr. Harrell, accept his retirement and let’s move on and do what we need to do as a community.”The sister of victim Irma Garcia – whose heartbroken husband, Joe Garcia, died days after the shooting – demanded that all board members step down and for the principal and vice principal to be removed from their positions.According to the post, the superintendent asked his wife “to post this message since he doesn’t have Facebook.”Last week, Harrell emailed staff about his intention to retire."
