Summary
At a special Judson ISD Board of Trustees meeting, trustees voted 5-0 to deny an employee’s level-3 appeal and uphold the administration’s level-2 decision. The board also agreed to reschedule a separate level-3 parent grievance with a target date no later than Feb. 27 and to supply additional records to the parties.
The Judson Board of Trustees voted 5-0 on a motion to deny an employee’s level-3 appeal and to uphold the administration’s level-2 decision during a special meeting that opened at 5:03 p.m. and resumed open session at 8:07 p.m.
The motion to deny the appeal was made by Ms. Boteet and seconded by Ms. Stanford. After brief comments and no further discussion, the presiding officer announced, “Motion passes 5 0.” The board did not identify any amendments to the administration’s decision during the public portion of the meeting.
The action followed an earlier closed-session consultation under Texas Government Code provisions the board cited at the meeting for attorney consultation and grievance consideration. The presiding officer stated that the board returned to open session at 8:07 p.m. and then held the vote. The board also stated, later in the meeting, that no final action was taken while they were in closed session.
Separately, the board discussed a second level-3 grievance identified in the record as “JB.” Trustees and attendees raised a procedural objection and requested a continuance, saying a board book and related records had not been received in a timely or usable form. One participant requested both an electronic link and a printed copy because the electronic share link did not permit copying or printing.
The board and the parties agreed to seek hearing dates during the week of Feb. 9–13, with a firm target of scheduling the grievance no later than Feb. 27. Staff were directed to coordinate calendars, upload any additional documents to the board book, provide a printed packet if requested and to send a confirming email to the parties.
The board adjourned the special meeting at 8:35 p.m.
What happens next: Board staff will attempt to schedule the resumption of the JB grievance during the suggested week and must send a confirming email; the grievance will proceed under new procedural rules mentioned at the meeting about timely submission and inclusion of documents in the record.
