The Springtown ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on March 2, 2026, to reject a Level Three grievance appeal filed by Mr. Shane Burtnett and to uphold the decisions of the district administration. "Regarding the deposition of the Level Three Grievance Appeal by Mr. Burtnett, I move to reject the Level Three Grievance Appeal and uphold the decisions of the administration," the record shows; the motion was made by Gary Veazey and seconded by Damon Liles and passed with seven yea votes.
Board President Chris Gilley reconvened the meeting to open session at 5:42 p.m. and addressed Mr. Burtnett, acknowledging the family's difficult experience and reiterating that grievance procedures under policy FNG (LEGAL and LOCAL) provide the proper process.
