Judson ISD board denies parent remedies but directs administration to report on employment and disciplinary actions
Summary
After a closed-session consultation under Texas law, the Judson ISD Board denied a parent's requested remedies related to a level-3 grievance but ordered administration to report back on employment and disciplinary actions at the next regular meeting; the motion passed 6-0 with one member absent.
The Judson Independent School District Board denied a parent's requested remedies in a level-3 grievance but directed district administration to report at the next regular board meeting on employment and disciplinary actions related to the case.
The board heard the matter in closed session under Texas Government Code sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.082. When the board returned to open session, a board member offered a public apology on behalf of the board, saying, "on behalf of the board I want you to know how sorry we are that this happened to you, that we did never wanted it to happen to you, and we are going to make sure that moving forward your your right to your body and your consent is upheld." That statement was recorded in open session addressing the parent named in the meeting as Maddie.
Board member Ryan moved "I move that we deny the requested remedies but direct administration to report to the board at the next regular board meeting information regarding the employment and disciplinary actions taken related to this matter." The motion was seconded by Mister Macias. After clarifying that Trustee Faulkner had left during closed session and would be marked absent for the vote, the board approved the motion 6-0.
The board did not grant the remedies requested by the parent in open session. The approved action directs district administration to return to the board at its next regular meeting with information about any employment or disciplinary measures taken; no timelines, specific personnel names, or disciplinary details were read into the public record during this meeting.
