Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo is facing immense heat amid the ongoing probe of the tragic Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

The community, including the school district superintendent, is reportedly considering terminating Arredondo on his post. However, a recent report claimed that the process, thought to be an easy way, is actually complicated, and his termination will be delayed to give him the due process he is entitled to.

Uvalde School District Police Chief Termination Meeting Called Off

According to CBS News, the special meeting seeking to terminate Pete Arredondo that was supposed to take place on July 23 was called off.

In a statement released Friday, the reason for the "indefinite postponement" of the hearing was to give way to the corresponding due process that the Uvalde school district police chief is entitled to based on his terms of employment.

"In conformity with due process requirements, and at the request of his attorney, the meeting to consider the termination of Chief Arredondo will be held at a later date which has yet to be determined," Uvalde school district communications director Anne Marie Espinoza said.

Uvalde school district superintendent Hall Harrell initially told parents, who were demanding his termination, that the process of terminating Arredondo was "complicated" as he is considered a contract employee, the New York Times reported.

In Texas, educators and administrators can have their contracts terminated if they fail to perform their duties for a good cause. However, Arredondo's contract is a different case.

The contents of his contract are blurry, as the district has not provided more details about it. Texas school district police chiefs' association VP chief Bill Avera further noted that Arredondo's lawyer might be negotiating an exit rather than a termination.

Uvalde School District Police Chief Accused of Negligence

Earlier this month, Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo resigned from his post at the Uvalde City Council following the backlash he received at handling the Robb Elementary School shooting last May 24.

Arredondo is currently placed on an "unpaid administrative leave" until the impending school board meeting. The embattled police chief faces an angry mob of national critics because of his unit's management of the Uvalde school shooting.

The Arredondo-led police force reportedly took over an hour to confront the shooter inside the classroom. A report claimed that more victims could have been saved should the officers have breached the room earlier. 

Based on the same report, the "wait" lasted for 73 minutes because of the "inability of anyone" to assume leadership despite the 376 present law enforcement officers at the crime scene.

Not only did Arredondo initiate the lead earlier than expected, but the unit has also "completely failed" to follow standard school shooter response protocol.

Because of negligence, the school shooter Salvador Ramos managed to claim the lives of 21 victims at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
