Parent raises concern about employee; board says administration will investigate
Summary
A parent, Constance Williams, told the board she is concerned about an employee (Marcus Smith) and referenced his prior court testimony on sexual assault; the board said administration would look into the matter and prioritize student safety.
Constance Williams, who identified herself as a parent, addressed the Clovis Municipal Schools Board during the open forum and raised concerns about an employee identified in her remarks as Marcus Smith, saying he has a doctorate and has testified in court on issues related to sexual assault.
Williams said she brought the matter to the board that evening because she did not want it to be left unraised over the summer and offered to provide public records to the board. She emphasized her concern for student safety and asked that administration review the matter.
President Cordova and board members thanked Williams for bringing the issue to their attention and said administration would look into it; the board noted that hiring and firing are typically administrative responsibilities but stressed student safety is the top priority.
What happens next: the board indicated administration would follow up and review the concern; no formal board action was taken during the meeting.
