Allen ISD Board Uses Closed Session Clauses in Level III Hearing
Summary
The Board convened closed sessions under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.082 to consult with counsel and address personnel-related portions of a whistleblower grievance; some employee complaints were presented in closed session at the employees' request.
The Allen ISD Board announced a closed-session consultation under Texas Government Code Section 551.071 at about 7:04 P.M. to consult with legal counsel on hearing procedures. Later the Board again entered closed session at 7:49 P.M. under Sections 551.074 and 551.082 to address the remainder of the hearing as it pertained to complaints Mr. Perry had filed against other employees; those employees requested the complaints be heard in closed session.
"Ms. McGowan stated the Board conducted the Level III Hearing on the Level I Grievance / Whistleblower Complaint filed by Myles Perry in open and closed sessions pursuant to Texas Government Code Sections 551.074 and 551.082," the minutes record. The Board later directed that Amy Stewart present portions of her closed-session presentation in open session because the material did not identify specific complaints or performance issues for other employees.
The minutes record the statutory bases the Board invoked but do not include the closed-session discussion contents. The Board ended the closed session at 8:08 P.M. and reconvened at 8:20 P.M. to continue in open session.
