Edgewood ISD grievance committee grants limited remedies to Melody Herrera in complaint against Trustee Martha Castilla
Summary
At its June 10 Grievance Committee meeting, Edgewood ISD trustees voted 3-0 to grant limited remedies to Melody Herrera in her Level Three grievance against Trustee Martha Castilla, specifying protections against retaliation and a review of the contested board meeting while denying other remedies.
The Edgewood Independent School District Grievance Committee voted 3-0 on June 10 to grant limited remedies to community member Melody Herrera in her Level Three grievance against Trustee Martha Castilla. The motion, made by Trustee Sergio Delgado and seconded by Trustee Rudy Lopez, specified protections related to retaliation and participation in board meetings while denying other requested relief.
"Motion made by Sergio Delgado and seconded by Rudy Lopez to grant Melody Herrera's grievance remedies - without an admission of any District wrongdoing - regarding no retaliation, continued to participate at board meetings, and a review of the board meeting in question has been done; however, all other remedies are denied," the board record states. Trustees Frank Espinosa, Rudy Lopez and Sergio Delgado voted "Yea." The action followed a closed-session hearing conducted under the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 551.071 and 551.074).
The record does not specify additional remedies that were denied or detail any remedies to be implemented beyond the protections listed in the motion. Board documents indicate the committee reconvened to open session at 8:27 p.m. and took the vote; the meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. No further procedural steps or reporting deadlines tied to this motion are specified in the meeting record.
