After a closed-session review, the West Oso ISD Board of Trustees on Monday voted to lift previously imposed restrictions that had limited Trustee Mary Elizabeth (Liz) Gutierrez’s participation in district activities on district property for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year.
The board moved in closed session under the government-code exemptions listed on the meeting agenda, then returned to open session and approved the motion to lift sanctions. The motion included language that the restrictions, which had been scheduled to run through June 2, 2025, would end immediately; the board vote in open session was recorded as 7-0.
The motion recorded in the public minutes states that, after closed-session consideration, the board found Gutierrez had continued to participate in meetings and fulfill trustee duties. The board’s action restores her participation in district activities on district property effective immediately for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year.
Ending: The board did not identify additional disciplinary actions in open session. The board’s vote and the motion text were reflected in the meeting record and will be reflected in minutes that follow the closed-session summary requirements of the Texas Government Code.
