UVALDE, Texas – UPDATE (June 24, 2025): The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on Monday to review information requested as part of a lawsuit related to the Robb Elementary shooting.

According to the lawsuit, the documents could provide crucial insights into the timeline of events and decision-making processes during the massacre that claimed the lives of 19 students and two teachers.
In a motion during Monday’s meeting by Uvalde CISD board member Jesse Rizo, the board set a deadline of July 21 — the date of the next scheduled meeting — to present an update on its review.
The school board also voted unanimously Monday to fill its lone vacancy, an at-large seat. It will be filled by appointment at the next board trustee election.
The at-large board seat is now open to applicants.
Below is the original story from June 22.
ORIGINAL: The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet on Monday to discuss a lawsuit regarding the release of records related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.
During the closed session of the meeting, the board will consider pending litigation related to the release of school and county records from law enforcement’s response to the Uvalde shooting.
A group of news organizations, including KSAT 12, asked a Texas appeals court in March to release these records, which include police body camera footage, 911 calls, emails and text messages.
This ongoing dispute follows a July 2024 district court ruling that ordered Uvalde CISD and the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office to release the records.
In August 2024, the agencies filed an intent to appeal the decision, delaying the process.
Online agenda documents for Monday’s meeting indicate that the board will also consider filling the vacancy left by former board president Calvin “Cal” Lambert, who resigned in May.
During a June 4 special meeting, the board accepted Lambert’s resignation, which was effective May 27.
Lambert cited health issues in his resignation, according to a June 1 report from the Uvalde Leader-News.
Lambert’s term as school board president was set to expire in May 2028. He joined the board in November 2020, following his reelection as an at-large trustee during the May 2024 election.
