Buffalo ISD board denies parents' level‑3 grievance after closed‑session deliberation
Summary
After a level‑3 appeal by parents Josh and Amy Cheek alleging harassment and retaliation, the board heard presentations, met in closed session, and voted in open session to deny the Cheeks' requested relief.
At a publicly noticed level‑3 hearing the board heard an appeal by Josh and Amy Cheek relating to their child (identified in the transcript as ZC). Amy Cheek spoke and summarized allegations, saying the departure of an employee did not resolve her family's concerns and alleging the district exhibited "deliberate indifference to the harassment of my daughter and its retaliation against me for recording it."
District counsel Jill Lanes responded on behalf of the administration and asked the board to uphold the level‑2 decision. The board then moved into executive session for consultation with attorneys and personnel deliberation. On reconvening, a motion to deny the Cheeks' level‑3 appeal was moved and seconded; the board announced the motion carried and that the appeal and the requested relief had been denied. The board provided oral notice of the disposition in open session.
