NORTH EAST ISD board upholds level‑3 parent‑student grievance, directs follow‑up on DAEP placement and bullying notices
Summary
After closed session, the NORTH EAST ISD board voted 7-0 to uphold a level‑3 parent‑student grievance and directed staff to pursue follow‑up on DAEP placement, academic coordination, bullying notifications and to show the Rodriguez family where PEIMS data appear on the Texas Education Agency website.
After reconvening in open session at 9:28 p.m., the NORTH EAST ISD Board voted 7-0 to uphold a level‑3 parent‑student grievance and issued directions for follow‑up.
Trustee Shelton moved to "uphold the level 3 grievance" while reserving a future discussion on disciplinary alternative education program placement and coordination of academics between a student’s home campus and DAEP, improving communication and notification related to bullying and bullying policies, and directing administration to show the Rodriguez family where PEIMS information appears on the Texas Education Agency website. Trustee Chigi seconded the motion. The board president called the vote; the motion passed 7-0.
The board’s action came after a closed session held under sections of the Texas Government Code related to personnel and certain school district matters. Before the board entered closed session, a public commenter raised a procedural question about the agenda’s statutory citation. Mike Osborne pointed out that the agenda listed Texas Government Code section 551.074, which concerns personnel matters, while the commenter said grievances fall under section 551.082.
Board President (name not specified) thanked both parties for attending after the vote and said the board recognized "opportunities on both sides for improvement" and that some matters "may have been handled a little more sensitively." The board adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
The board’s motions were limited to upholding the grievance and directing staff to pursue the follow‑up items; the meeting record does not show any additional policy changes or timelines attached to the directives.
