Weslaco ISD board holds closed session on a Level 3 grievance, then approves Level 2 decisions with exceptions
Summary
The board closed part of the meeting to consult the attorney on a Level 3 grievance filed by Pablo Vallejo under district policy, then returned to open session and approved the district's Level 2 decisions except for changes discussed in executive session.
The Weslaco ISD Board of Trustees went into a closed session to consult with the district attorney about a Level 3 grievance filed by Pablo Vallejo pursuant to district policy. President Joe O'Neil asked anyone not part of the grievance to step out before the session.
After the closed attorney consultation, the board returned to open session. Mark De Los Santos moved "to approve the district's Level 2 decisions except for the changes discussed in executive session," and Dr. Jaime Rodriguez seconded the motion. Trustees voted in favor and the chair declared the motion carried.
The public record as read at the meeting identifies the grievance by name only; the transcript does not include details of the grievance's substance, the Level 2 decisions' content, or any specific changes adopted in executive session. The board's open-session action approves the Level 2 decisions with unspecified modifications arising from confidential consultation.
Because executive sessions are confidential, the public record documents only that the board consulted with counsel and then acted on Level 2 decisions with exceptions; the transcript does not provide specifics on the grievance outcome or the exact textual changes made to Level 2 decisions.
