Uvalde CISD Superintendent issues statement on “Uvalde Hate Week” Social Media Posts

To Our Uvalde CISD School Community,

This notification informs you of a distressing situation that has recently come to our attention. Images titled “Uvalde Hate Week” have surfaced on social media, containing disturbing content, including faces of UCISD students. We understand the alarm and concern this may cause within our community.

Please rest assured that these images and the associated accounts have been reported to the appropriate authorities. In collaboration with local law enforcement agencies, this social media behavior has been identified as the two student groups hazing each other on social media. It is important to note that this behavior is unacceptable and is being monitored by DPS.

In light of these developments, although the social media content is highly inappropriate, the investigation uncovered that this unsuitable post was a reaction to Uvalde students sharing a similar inappropriate message, as both teams are set to compete against each other on the field this Friday night.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to discuss the impact and possible consequences of these types of disturbing and inappropriate social media posts. Your partnership and vigilance are crucial as we work together to maintain a safe and supportive environment. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this time.

Thank you for your continued support.

Respectfully,

Ashley Chohlis

Superintendent of Schools
