Board votes to rescind an employee's tenure at a special meeting
What happened
At a special meeting on January 22 the board approved a resolution 'rescinding tenure' and an agreement resolution after a private session on an employee's work history and legal matters. The recording does not name the person.
Why it matters to families
Tenure is job protection for teachers and principals. The vote came after parents spoke on January 14 about a student-discipline incident, and a speaker said the district was reportedly facing a lawsuit.
The evidence
The board said public comment on the 'underlying matter' came on January 14. The January 9 superintendent update said a photo of a staff member's foot on a child was circulating and promised action. The official records do not say the two are the same matter, or who the employee is.
