Parent tells Sheldon ISD board child injured at school; asks for review after response she found unsatisfactory

During the public‑comment portion of the meeting, a parent described two injuries suffered by her sixth‑grade child at school — one in February and one within the past week — and said the family's interactions with school administration left them dissatisfied.

The parent said the first injury was a chipped knee and the most recent involved the child’s finger. She said, “The only response I received was, 'we're sorry,'” and added that her son missed awards and other events while recovering. The speaker said she had documentation, that the family had raised the matter with school staff, and that the experience prompted her to consider moving the child to a different school.

Board chair remarks at the start of public comment reminded speakers that the board cannot respond to items not on the agenda under the Texas Open Meetings Act and that complaints about specific employees must follow district grievance procedures. The parent expressed that this was her last step before seeking recourse elsewhere and asked the district to “have a light on” the situation.

The board did not respond substantively during the meeting; the public‑comment rules and grievance process referenced by the chair outline how the district will address personnel‑related complaints.

Families with concerns about a specific employee or incident were directed to the district’s grievance procedures; the board offered no immediate action in open session on the matter as required by statute.
