Classes at new Uvalde elementary school to begin this month, foundation says
Legacy Elementary honors Robb shooting victims with upgraded security and space for 800 students, funded by over $60 million raised by the Uvalde CISD Moving Forward Foundation.
- On Tuesday, Legacy Elementary School will begin classes after a ribbon-cutting, the foundation says, marking a key milestone for Uvalde CISD students and teachers.
- The Uvalde CISD Moving Forward Foundation, created after the May 24, 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, led planning and fundraising as trustees approved blueprints in spring 2023 and construction began in February 2024.
- Spanning 116,000 square feet, Legacy Elementary School incorporates keyless entry points, 9-foot-tall privacy gates, a secure visitor waiting area, and a road for first responders, with 36 classrooms and capacity for 800 third, fourth and fifth graders.
- The foundation says it has secured all the money needed to finish Legacy, with more than $60 million raised and leftover donations supporting Uvalde CISD.
- Amid the school opening, legal cases tied to the Robb shooting continue, with one officer’s trial set for Jan. 5 and an Oct. 14 hearing canceled amid ongoing litigation.
