Trustees adopt level-2 grievance response after split vote
Summary
The Judson ISD Board of Trustees voted 4–2 with one abstention to adopt the district's response at level 2 in an employee grievance, with trustees debating whether the board needed to grant protections already provided in policy.
Trustee Kanoyer moved and Trustee Stanford seconded a motion to adopt the district's response at level 2 to an employee grievance; the board approved the motion 4–2 with one abstention.
The motion was introduced by Trustee Kanoyer, who also used the discussion period to reassure Mr. Sandoval and the public that, "as per our board policy, no retaliation from the board or the district will be brought forward because you brought a complaint," and that employment decisions are governed by the district's grievance procedures.
Trustee Jones said she would not support the motion, arguing that "the rights that the employee has is already afforded to him in our policy," and that the board did not need to grant something already available and enforced under existing procedures.
After brief discussion the chair called for a vote; the motion carried with four trustees voting yes, two voting no and one abstention. The transcript records that no public comment was received at the meeting and that the board had met earlier in closed session on related personnel matters and taken no final action while in closed session.
The board did not attach additional public conditions or follow-up tasks in the transcript; next steps were not specified during the meeting.
