Perry Independent School District Holds Level 3 Hearing on Parent Complaint Appeal

The Perryton Independent School District (PISD) Board of Trustees convened on July 28, 2025, to address a significant parent complaint during a formal hearing. The meeting, which began with a prayer led by a board member, confirmed the presence of a quorum, allowing the session to proceed in accordance with Texas Open Meeting laws.

The primary agenda item was a Level 3 appeal filed by parents Casey and Tanisha Anderson, who requested that their complaint be heard in a closed session due to the sensitive nature of the information involved, which included confidential student details. The board members acknowledged this request and moved into a closed session to discuss the appeal, adhering to Texas government code provisions that protect student privacy.

Following the closed session, the board is expected to reconvene in open session to deliberate and take any necessary actions regarding the Andersons' appeal. The meeting underscores the district's commitment to addressing parental concerns while maintaining compliance with legal standards for confidentiality. Further updates on the board's decision will be provided after the conclusion of the hearing.
