Shelly Potter of Judson AFT warns trustees against rushing a tax-rate election, says staff are 'in chaos'
Summary
Shelly Potter, speaking for Judson AFT during public comment, told the board that frequent leadership changes and staffing moves have left employees unsettled and urged trustees not to run a tax-rate ratification election while internal instability persists.
Shelly Potter, representing Judson AFT, urged the Judson ISD board during public comment to delay any effort to place a tax-rate ratification measure before voters, saying district employees are facing “complete disarray” after frequent leadership and staffing changes.
Potter told trustees that long-serving employees have never seen a start to a school year like this one and described payment and scheduling problems for custodial staff. “Chaos is not a plan,” she said, urging the board to “stop the chaos. Start leading. Please get it together.” She framed her remarks as a warning that internal instability could undermine public support for a voter measure meant to raise district revenue.
