How exactly does a school board punish a police chief? This is a new concept for me.

How??

Firing him would be one example, and, great start.

As SCHOOL DISTRICT police chief, he reports to the school district.

Wait a minute, a school district has a police force? That includes a police chief?

Uvalde Schools have a total of 4100 students. How and why was an independent police force established for such a small enrollment? Far better to pay for police/sheriff deputies to serve as ‘resource officers’ who revert to being regular real world cops when school is out.

Maybe more importantly, why was the chief of this 6-man police force in charge of dealing with the murderous event? He, or far more likely the officer assigned to the school might well know the layout better than other cops, but then so did the school’s janitor. Actually the janitor might well have made better tactical decisions.

The people of Uvalde will likely see to it that the school board and the ‘chief’ will be looking for other jobs sooner or later.

I have never in my life heard of a police chief subordinate to a school board. I would not have fathomed it in such a small town.

The teacher that left the door open, the policeman who was AWOL from his job and the school police chief should have all been indicted for manslaughter.
