WESLACO ISD board closes Level 3 grievance, directs superintendent to act
Summary
The WESLACO ISD board voted to close a Level 3 grievance from the June 18 hearing and authorized Superintendent Dr. Rivera to take disciplinary or corrective steps discussed in closed session; trustees approved the motion on a voice/roll-call vote.
The WESLACO ISD board voted to close the investigation that was initiated by the board as a result of the Level 3 grievance held on June 18, 2024, and authorized Superintendent Dr. Rivera to take action as discussed in closed session.
A board member moved to close the investigation and to have Dr. Rivera "take action as disclosed discussed in closed session." After brief discussion the board took a roll-call voice vote and the motion passed.
During public comment, a trustee sought to correct what they described as misinformation on social media, saying "there was never a discussion of termination of a coach, coach Porguet, or any coach, just any individual." The superintendent later clarified the agenda did not include a termination recommendation but said "there will be consequences on some of the actions that occurred that need to be corrected."
The board followed that guidance in closed session and then voted to close the investigation and delegate next steps to the superintendent. No specific disciplinary actions were recorded in the public minutes; the motion language in open session authorized implementation "as discussed in closed session."
