Federal Government May Assist in Razing Robb Elementary School
As the good people of Uvalde, Texas continue to trudge through the horrid grief that has besieged their town, the federal government is looking for ways to step in and assist them in these trouble times…and in the future.
One way in which the feds are considering assisting the recovery efforts in Uvalde is by providing resources to raze and rebuild the school in which 19 students and 2 teachers were killed just days ago.
A state senator representing Uvalde, Texas, says President Joe Biden indicated a willingness to provide federal money to raze Robb Elementary School and build another in its place following the shooting there.

The town was seemingly in agreement.
“He said, ‘I’m not going to leave here, we’re gonna bring resources, we’re gonna look at bringing a federal grant to raze the school,’” Gutierrez said Monday on MSNBC. “Every parent that I’ve talked to doesn’t want to see this school again, is traumatized. Every little kid that I’ve talked to is scared to even go near the school.”
The White House has also indicated their willingness to help provide mental health experts and therapists in the small Texas town, which currently has but one resident psychiatrist.
