At approximately 7:30 AM that same morning, a video showed Brett Cross angrily confronting district superintendent Hal Harrell at a door at the back side of the building.
“I have given you 18 weeks and you still haven’t done a damn thing.” Brett Cross said.
Reporters that tried to go around to the back of the Central Office building to cover what was going on there were ordered by a school district official to, “Get off property.”
Pictures posted on Brett Cross’ Facebook page shows a canopy that was set up near the Central Office building with other protestors and supporters sitting in outdoor chairs.
The protest lasted into the overnight hours. In another video posted on Brett Cross’ Facebook page, an officer could be seen with another unidentified person near Cross’ vehicle. The officer gave Cross an ultimatum; to move his vehicle or it would be towed.
The Uvalde Hesperian sent an email Monday morning to Uvalde CISD Executive Director of Communications & Marketing Anne Marie Espinoza asking if the district could provide a statement on the district’s response and what was happening that morning at the district’s central offices.
A reply was received by the Uvalde Hesperian stating the request had been received.
