Overview

  • Attorney Robb D. Decker of Walsh Gallegos acknowledged the firm mistakenly released only an exemplar of records on Aug. 11, leaving out thousands of responsive documents.
  • District officials say roughly 26,000 additional pages, including about 8,600 emails, are being posted on a rolling basis, with Decker indicating all should be public by next week.
  • The school board unanimously authorized the broad release of Robb Elementary files, including attorney‑client communications, with safety plans excluded.
  • Several thousand of the withheld pages were posted by Wednesday, as the district works to apply required redactions ordered by the court.
  • Key materials remain unavailable because they are controlled by other agencies or do not exist for the district, including DPS‑seized school surveillance video, city 911 recordings, and any district body‑camera footage.
