Grievant’s written request leads Splendora ISD to hold Level Three FNG hearing in open session
Summary
The board’s minutes state the grievant requested the Level Three FNG hearing be open in writing; the district held the Level Three hearing in open session on Jan. 7, 2025 before taking a vote to deny the appeal.
According to the meeting minutes for Jan. 7, 2025, the grievant "requested to have an open hearing in writing, so level 3 hearing on FNG grievance took place in open session." The minutes place this sequence during the evening’s closed-session/appeal procedures and note reconvening times.
The board initially announced it would go into Closed Session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for a set of authorized purposes. The minutes record a break at 6:32 PM, closed session beginning at 6:33 PM, and a reconvening at 6:52 PM after the grievance hearing period. The hearing’s being held in open session was explicitly tied to the grievant’s written request; the minutes do not include the substantive content of the grievance itself.
The open hearing preceded a motion recorded in the public minutes denying the Level Three appeal and upholding the Level Two decision. The minutes do not list further remediation, disciplinary steps, or the grievance’s underlying facts. The special meeting later conducted additional closed-session business and adjourned at 8:49 PM.
