The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has approved the location and design of a new school to replace Robb Elementary, nearly six months after 19 students and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting.
The site selection and conceptual design were approved during a school board meeting on Nov. 16, officials said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
Uvalde CISD Community Advisory Committee presented the designs for the new school—which is reportedly set to cost around $50 million and is being funded by donations—to board members.
According to local reports, the new school will be situated next to Dalton Elementary, an existing pre-K through second-grade school in Uvalde, while Robb Elementary School will be demolished….
