Del Valle ISD trustees address two level‑3 personnel grievances after closed session
Summary
At a meeting that began at 6:15 p.m., the Del Valle ISD Board of Trustees held a closed session under Texas Government Code provisions and then took actions on two level‑3 personnel grievances; the record includes ambiguous wording on the first vote and a board finding of no authority to grant a remedy on the second.
The Del Valle Independent School District Board of Trustees, meeting in a session that opened at 6:15 p.m., moved into closed session under Texas Government Code provisions and later returned to take action on two level‑3 personnel grievances before adjourning at about 8:02 p.m.
The board announced the closed session was held under Texas Government Code sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.082 and cited district policy DGBA(local) for attorney consultation and personnel discussion. The closed session record references consideration of a level‑3 grievance by Bianca B. and a level‑3 grievance by Steven M.; the board reported it ended the closed session at 7:55 p.m. and reconvened in open session at 8:01 p.m.
In open session the board considered the grievance of Steven M. A board member made a motion “to deny this grievance,” the motion was seconded by Trustee Cisneros, and the chair called for those in favor to say “aye.” The audio transcript then records the phrase “Motion is denied.” The record does not include a roll‑call tally or further clarification in the transcript excerpt provided; the meeting minutes or district clerk’s official record should be consulted for the formal outcome.
The board then addressed the level‑3 grievance that the closed session had identified for Bianca B. A board member moved “that the board take no action,” stating that “the board does not have the authority to grant the rent.” Trustee Haywood Ward seconded that motion; the board called for those in favor and an “aye” was recorded on the audio transcript. The board then moved to adjourn, and the meeting ended at about 8:02 p.m.
The agenda included no public comment before the closed session, and the board did not complete one listed item (identified in the closed‑session announcement as item C) because the person involved was not present. The transcript excerpts made available to this report do not include the full roll‑call or the board’s written motions and official minute language; the district’s official minutes or clerk’s record should be referenced for final vote tallies and formal disposition language.
Adjournment followed the votes and procedural announcements.
