Sulphur Springs ISD board denies two Level III grievances, partially upholds a service-record complaint
Summary
At its Dec. 2 special meeting the Sulphur Springs ISD Board of Trustees voted 6-0 to deny Level III grievances over timeliness and pay and to deny in part and approve in part a grievance concerning an employee service record after closed-session hearings.
The Sulphur Springs Independent School District Board of Trustees met Dec. 2, 2025, and after executive sessions voted on three Level III personnel grievances. Board President Craig Roberts and six trustees convened the special meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the district board room.
The board authorized executive sessions under Texas Government Code Section 551.071 to consult with counsel and under Section 551.074 to conduct grievance hearings concerning district personnel. The agenda listed three grievance topics to be considered in closed session: the timeliness of a complaint, pay, and an employee’s service record; the minutes do not include the factual details of the complaints.
After returning to open session the board acted on the three grievances. Trustee John Campbell moved, and Trustee Adam Teer seconded, to deny the grievance regarding the timeliness of the complaint; the board voted 6-0 to adopt the motion. Trustee Adam Teer moved, and Trustee Brian Kelly seconded, to deny the grievance regarding pay; the board voted 6-0. Trustee Darla Reed moved, and Trustee Kati Adair seconded, to deny in part and approve in part the grievance concerning the service record; the board voted 6-0. The minutes record the motions and unanimous tallies but do not provide the underlying findings, any remedies, or additional conditions tied to the partial approval.
The record lists Superintendent Dr. Deana Steeber and district administrators Shawn Duhon, Jeremy Lopez, Amanda Fenton and Mikki Daniel as present for the meeting; Vice President Leesa Toliver is recorded as absent. No members of the public spoke during the public comment period.
The board adjourned at 8:23 p.m. The minutes do not specify any next procedural steps, appeals options, or corrective actions resulting from the partial approval on the service-record grievance.
