Judson ISD trustees unanimously OK limited waivers to share investigation reports with TEA, litigants and a redacted public release

The Judson ISD Board of Trustees on the evening of the special meeting approved three separate motions authorizing limited waivers of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection for investigation reports related to Trustee Jose Macias, Trustee Monica Ryan and former Superintendent Dr. Milton R. (Rob) Fields.

Ms. Boteet moved the first waiver limited to pending litigation; the board clarified that the litigation waiver permitted disclosure to parties involved in lawsuits (not a general public disclosure). That motion passed unanimously 7–0.

Ms. Boteet then moved a separate, limited waiver to provide the same investigative materials to the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Board members discussed the meaning of a "limited" waiver, noting it restricts onward disclosure rather than leaving reports unrestricted; Trustee Macias said the release was intended "in an overabundance to share information with TEA, so that their investigation is successful." That motion also passed 7–0.

A third motion authorized a redacted public release of Trustee Monica Ryan's investigation report with student and employee identifiers removed. The chair noted that redaction would allow findings to be released where there were no findings of misconduct; Trustee Macias asked whether the matters remained tied to court cases, and the chair responded that the board's internal investigation into him had been completed with no finding. The public-redacted motion passed 7–0.

All three motions were introduced and read on the record; the transcript shows the board held related legal consultations in closed session and that no final action was taken while in closed session. The motions set disclosure limits but did not specify a public timeline, redaction standard or follow-up reporting requirement in the meeting record.
