Summary

During public comment at the Oct. 10 special Natalia ISD Board meeting, Jaime Gomez raised concerns about Facebook posts and the grievance process, and a parent, Mrs. Figoroa, alleged her child experienced retaliation by then-High School principal Marshall Lee Myers and said she supported the board's decision to fire him.

Two community members used the public-comment portion of the Natalia Independent School District special meeting on Oct. 10 to raise concerns about disciplinary practice and the district's grievance procedures. Jaime Gomez spoke to the board about Facebook posts and the grievance process; the minutes note his remarks but do not record a response from board members in the meeting record.

A parent identified in the minutes as Mrs. Figoroa said discipline was a problem when Marshall Lee Myers was principal of the high school and alleged her child was retaliated against by Mr. Myers after she made a comment; she told the board she supported their decision to fire Mr. Myers. The meeting record does not include any recorded response from the administrator or additional witness testimony; those allegations were followed by a closed-session consultation with legal counsel and the board's subsequent vote to propose termination.
