robb elementary school has been shut down. what do you think? think the school district did what they had to do. the support services are there, wolf. you know, robb elementary is no l longer there for the students. so they had to kind of separate students between two different campuses. but you know, the school district has gone out of their way to help students, facilitate students and parents. and again, the dedicated teachers have been working very hard for the last month. i see their cars there at the campuses. now, as far as security measures, i know that there are some schools that don't have the fencing yet or maybe some security indoor, inside security is not in place. but every campus has about six to eight dps officers outside standing guard. >> as you know, since the massacre parents in uvalde have been pushing for new gun safety measures. what are you hearing from parents in your community, commissioner? >> wolf, i've been -- i've been part of that group of parents that have so valiantly of course stood up to our gun laws, which are

remember, the school that you see behind me is where the second and third graders from robb elementary last school year are now third and fourth graders. so this is one of the schools that absorbed though students from robb elementary which is no longer being used. those students told us today that they felt very safe inside the schoolroom. they saw multiple officers throughout the course of the day. and it was very good, they said, to be back with their classmates and their friends. they both told us that there was no mention of the tragedy back on may 24th where 19 students and 2 teachers were killed. that teachers here greeted them with open arms and smiles, so clearly, a deliberate effort to try to help the students feel secure and calm in a peaceful place as they return here to the classroom. you know, many people sharing their first day of school pictures, families, that sort of thing, but that is something that the families of the victims, the 19 students are no longer able to do, and throughout the course of the day, we noticed a tweet that was sent out by a gentleman named bre

this was not here from the massacre at robb elementary. it's something new that the school put in place to give a feeling of safety to the parents. as you say, parents will be walking their kids through the doors at the school in anticipation, sort of this concern over safety. and the concern over the fact, whether or not their kids will feel safe. whether or not they'll be in an environment where they can learn. and this was something that was on top of mind here, by many of the school officials. >> kick is up. >> reporter: the sights and sounds of back to school have begun in uvalde. >> he's got the block with the quarterback. >> reporter: friday night football. >> out of bounds! 10 yard line. >> reporter: the annual palomino festival. >> go, palomino! >> reporter: for the students, their families and the entire uvalde community, the return to school today feels nothing like normal. >> not the same. and you always kind of feel like a little bit heavy-hearted about everything. >> reporter: in a community still reeling from the last days o
