(CNN) — Uvalde’s school board hired new lawyers Monday night as its members tried for a third time to be open about the circumstances of the 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary, any problems beforehand and what happened afterward.
Board members heard there may be a million pages of public records still to be released, despite a court-ordered deadline that has come and gone and two unanimous votes by the board to publish all documents related to the shooting.
Lawyers at Walsh Gallegos coordinated two releases of emails and other documents on behalf of the school board, but CNN reported how gaping holes remained, surprising and angering board members.
School board president Laura Perez told a special meeting held Monday: “We hear it from the media before anywhere else, and that’s not fair.”
