Board asks legal counsel to investigate Hernandez and Perez grievance, directs PIA request to Connors
Summary
WESLACO ISD trustees voted to request a DIA investigation by the district's legal counsel into a Level 3 grievance filed by El Hernandez and C. Perez and directed that a Public Information Act request be provided to Mr. Connors; the motion passed by voice vote.
Board President Jacquelyn Sustaita opened the special meeting and said the board would consider a Level 3 grievance requested by El Hernandez and C. Perez under WESLACO ISD policy DGBA(local). After a closed hearing, the board reconvened and a trustee moved that the district "request, in accordance with board policy that a DIA investigation be conducted by legal counsel and that the public information act request be given to mister Connors as soon as possible." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board did not record individual roll‑call votes; Sustaita had previously confirmed a quorum with six trustees present. The motion’s text directs the district attorney investigation (DIA) to be handled by legal counsel and signals the board’s intent to seek records through the Public Information Act. No further details about the subject matter of the grievance were disclosed in the open session.
"I make the motion for the board self hold the level 2, however, but to request, in accordance with board policy that a DIA investigation be conducted by legal counsel and that the public information act request be given to mister Connors as soon as possible," a trustee said during the motion.
The board president thanked the parties for attending and noted an audio recording of the proceedings would be available to the public. The board took no additional, separate formal action on remedies in open session and did not announce a timeline for the DIA investigation.
