Parents urge Union Grove ISD board to overhaul bullying response
Summary
Parents raised concerns at the June 12 board meeting about inconsistent handling of bullying reports and called for clearer procedures and timelier communication with families.
Jody Day called the Union Grove Independent School District Board of Trustees to order on June 12 and the meeting included public comment in which parents urged changes to the district’s handling of bullying reports.
Wes Pullen told the board about an incident involving his son and asked for consequences for late reporting to parents. "He would like to see consequences for the late reporting of the matter to parents," the minutes state. Kourntey Long, speaking as a community member, said the district should "re-address the policies and procedures regarding bullying" and fix inconsistencies in how staff address such matters.
The concerns prompted no formal action during the meeting; trustees did not record a board directive in the minutes instructing staff to change procedures. Superintendent Kelly Moore provided routine information items during the meeting but the minutes do not record a staff response or commitment to a specific timeline to review or change the district’s bullying policy.
The public commenters asked the board to follow up; the district’s next steps were not specified in the minutes. The full board approved the rest of the agenda and later recessed for a closed session; the minutes record no vote or formal resolution tied to the public commenters’ requests.
