Resident asks school board to request TEA investigation into recent hire
Summary
A public commenter asked the board to request a formal Texas Education Agency investigation, alleging a newly hired district employee was elevated to cabinet without required experience and that the promotion hurt staff morale.
During the citizens’ comment portion, Raymond Mesa urged trustees to request a formal investigation by the Texas Education Agency into a recent hire who moved quickly into a cabinet role. "If TEA were to investigate, he would find 2 violations, violation of the oath of office and micro managing," Mesa said, and requested the TEA probe and reconsideration of any further elevation for that employee.
Board leaders listened but did not respond to the substance of the request during the public comment period (the board’s rules were read that it will "listen but will not respond" to questions during citizens’ comments). No formal action or board investigation was launched during the meeting.
