Dear COEHD Faculty, Staff, and Students,

 

You are likely aware by now of the devastating and heartbreaking deadly event at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX – a small community roughly 100 miles southwest of San Antonio. This horrific and senseless act has hit very close to home.

 

I did learn that two school administrators involved in the situation are closely connected to UTSA. The principal of Robb Elementary is currently a doctoral student in ELPS – her name is Mandy Gutierrez. The Superintendent, John Harrell, is a UTSA alum.

 

Please keep these individuals and the entire community of Uvalde in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Thank you,

Mario
