Board denies Level III parent complaint after executive session; expulsion appeal delayed to July 13
Summary
Following an executive session, the Calallen ISD Board denied a Level III parent complaint (vote 3-2-1) and granted the family additional time on an expulsion appeal, delaying action until the July 13, 2026 regular meeting.
Under authority of the Texas Open Meetings Act (Government Code §551.074 and §551.082), Calallen ISD trustees convened an executive session at 7:36 p.m. and returned to open session at 8:49 p.m. After closed deliberations, the board considered motions related to a Level III parent complaint and a student's expulsion appeal.
A motion by Royce Cameron, seconded by Chelsea Schulze, denied the Level III parent complaint and the remedies requested. The motion passed 3-2-1 with Heather Luckenbach, Royce Cameron and Chelsea Schulze voting yes; Michael Hatch and Edward Wells voting no; and Jerry Batek abstaining. Board Secretary Lori Jo Walker, who attended via Zoom, did not cast a vote because she was not present for closed session. The board took no action on the expulsion appeal and granted the parent a delay until the July 13, 2026 regular meeting.
The action on the Level III complaint was the meeting's only recorded divided vote on a disciplinary matter; minutes record the vote counts but do not include the details of the underlying complaint or the board's deliberations from the closed session.
