Residents press Levelland ISD board on budget, staffing and class-size concerns
Summary
Several community members used the public forum to urge trustees to address budget priorities, wages, school staffing, bus spending and class-size ratios during the Feb. 12 meeting.
Multiple community members raised concerns during the public forum at the Levelland ISD Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 12.
Veronica Muniz called attention to district budget spending. Chrystal Simpson spoke about concerns involving her grandchildren's schooling. Jellica Meza Morales urged the board to reconsider spending on buses and raised worries about teacher frustrations and student-to-teacher ratios. Jennifer Del Campo focused on employee wages, class sizes and teacher absorption. Joshua Randol addressed President Carrie Ellis with several financial concerns, and Jalee Vela recounted issues from prior employment.
Board members heard the public comments; in several cases the minutes state that board members or staff "answered questions as needed," but the document does not record substantive board commitments in response to each speaker. The public-comment section did not result in immediate policy changes or votes at the meeting.
