The massacre that happened on the Santa Fe High School campus back in 2018 is still painful for many people in the community to think about.
While some say it should be erected on campus, Santa Fe ISD officials say they respect the idea but it’s just not feasible.
Santa Fe ISD Board Trustee Vice President Eric E Davenport said the board is in full support of building a memorial, but there are reasons such as high land costs, land laws and school safety as to why putting a public memorial on campus isn’t feasible. School officials say the tentative design would require approximately an acre of land. A park located near the school district’s administration building just under three miles, or about five minutes drive from the high school, is a location the school district is considering since it already owns the land.
