In open session following a closed meeting on Sept. 16, the Edgewood ISD school board voted to find that “good cause did not exist” for the alleged abandonment of contract by employee Guadalupe Garcia Hernandez and authorized the superintendent to file a written complaint with the Texas State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC).

Trustee Mister Espinosa moved the finding and to authorize the superintendent to file the complaint and issue written notice; Mister Delgado seconded. The motion carried in open session.
