A parent told the Judson ISD board that her son was repeatedly pulled from classes, searched by school police, and stigmatized after what she says were a series of unsubstantiated allegations handled under the district’s bullying and safety systems.
"For more than a year my son was a target of false reports to the bullying prevention system," Laura McGuire told the board during public comment. She said campus staff repeatedly removed her son from class, that police searched him multiple times on uncorroborated allegations, and that counselors and teachers produced evaluations and referrals later shown to be false. McGuire said disciplinary marks remained on her son’s records even after the Wagner principal retracted most punishments.
McGuire said she has pursued multiple channels — meetings, police reports to multiple agencies, public-information requests, and cooperation with investigations — and still lacks answers about who led the investigation in the JISD Police Department and why incident reports are missing or incomplete. She also raised concerns about racial disproportionality in discipline data: she said two high schools near her home had 25% African American enrollment but African American students comprised over 50% of out-of-school suspensions in records she reviewed.
She said she will return to the board with additional comments; the board chair interrupted her after the three-minute public comment limit. The district did not respond during the public comment period; trustees did not take formal action during the meeting but the comment raised procedural and record-keeping concerns that the board and staff said they would pursue.
