Conversations about the possibility that Robb Elementary School, in Uvalde, Texas, be closed as a result of the reported massacre are ongoing.
This was confirmed to KSAT, by state senator Roland Gutiérrez who said that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, confirmed the intention to him.
Supposedly, Biden communicated to the Democrat the plan to close the school and build a new one.
The above would be a measure to deal with the trauma that the massacre has left in the school community in general.
Last 24 May, Salvador Ramos killed 19 students and two teachers in a shooting considered the bloodiest since the one reported at Sandy Hook School, in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.
“In many cases, these schools are closed or completely renovated in an attempt to reduce the traumatic memories that it has become for me members of the community“, raised the Center for the Prevention of Violence of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Robb Elementary closed a few days earlier than anticipated due to the shooting.
But, should it be closed permanently, this would not be the first school to experience this change.
In the case of Sandy Hook, the campus was torn down and rebuilt. On 14 December 2012 Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six adults in the study center. Three weeks after the attack, students began taking classes in a building in Monroe that was previously used for Chalk Hill Middle School
Four years after the massacre, a renovated school was inaugurated in the space.
