Southwest ISD board takes no action on Level Three parent grievance after closed session
Summary
After a closed-session discussion Aug. 27, the Southwest Independent School District Board of Trustees reconvened and, hearing no motion, announced it would take no action on a Level Three parent grievance. The board cited attorney consultation and grievance-hearing provisions of the Texas Government Code.
The Southwest Independent School District Board of Trustees met in a special session Aug. 27 and held a closed-session discussion of a Level Three parent grievance under the Texas Government Code.
Board President Sylvester Vasquez Jr. announced that the board would convene in closed session at 4:33 p.m., citing Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code and specifically Sections 551.071 (attorney consultation) and 551.0821 (hear and consider a Level Three parent grievance). The grievance was listed on the agenda under Item IV and was postponed until after the closed session for those reasons.

No additional details about the substance of the grievance, any recommended remedies, or next steps were included in the open-session minutes. The minutes show all seven trustees were present at the meeting; no citizens signed up for public comment. The board adjourned at 5:46 p.m.
