Hal Harrell, superintendent of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, announced his retirement on Monday on his wife's Facebook page
Harrell will stay in his position until a new superintendent is named
He had been under scrutiny since the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary
His message came only hours after the school district announced it was suspending the operations of its police force
The superintendent of the Texas school district where a gunman killed 19 elementary school students and two teachers last May announced his retirement Monday.
In the statement posted to Donna Goates Harrell's Facebook page, Uvalde school Superintendent Hal Harrell said he would remain in office throughout this school year until the school board hires his successor.
Harrell, the Uvalde school board and other school district officials have faced heavy criticism over the May 24 Robb Elementary School massacre in which officers allowed a shooter with an AR-15-style rifle to remain in a fourth-grade classroom for more than 70 minutes.

Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
