Anna Independent School District board denies Level III grievance; will reevaluate diagnostician choice annually
Summary
On Dec. 18, 2024, the Anna Independent School District Board of Trustees denied a Level III parent grievance appeal and affirmed the administration’s Level II decision, adding that the choice of diagnostician for the student will be reexamined each May while the student is in elementary school.
The Anna Independent School District Board of Trustees met in a special session Dec. 18, 2024, and denied a Level Three parent grievance appeal, voting unanimously to affirm the administration’s Level Two decision. The board convened a closed hearing and consulted with district legal counsel under board policy FNG (LOCAL) before returning to open session to take action.
Trustee Monty Renfro moved to deny the appeal; Trustee Jason Adams seconded the motion, which the board carried unanimously. The board included a procedural condition that "the choice of diagnostician will be reevaluated each school year in May while the student is in elementary," as recorded in the meeting minutes. The hearing concluded at 7:18 PM, the board returned to open session at 7:46 PM, and the denial motion was approved before the meeting adjourned at 7:48 PM.
The board’s action upholds the prior Level Two administrative decision; the minutes note the board considered procedural and legal issues during a closed session. The transcript identifies the board president as Rhonda Lewis and lists trustees Jason Adams, Clark Miller, Monty Renfro, Shonda Rupe and Tiffany Terry, and Interim Superintendent Rod Townsend as present. No members of the public signed in to address the board at the meeting.
