The Uvalde CISD Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting to consider and act on the District’s 2024-2025 Student Code of Conduct, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Community Health Development, Inc. (CHDI, Inc.) for the school based health clinic.
According to the agenda, the trustees plan on meeting in a closed executive session to discuss taking possible action on the Texas Tribune lawsuit involving the release of public records pertaining to the Robb School Tragedy on May 24th 2022.
Following the aforementioned legal discussion in closed executive session, the trustees will vote to decide on possible action the district plans to take which may include appealing a decision handed down by a Texas District Court Judge requiring the District as well as the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Department and the City of Uvalde according to a report by the Texas Tribune.
“A group of news organizations including The Texas Tribune sued the city of Uvalde, the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office and the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District over access to the records after their open-records requests were repeatedly denied following the May 24, 2022 shooting,” the Texas Tribune July 15th news report said,
The Texas Tribune report also went on to say, “”This ruling is a pivotal step towards ensuring transparency and accountability,” said Laura Prather, a media law attorney with Haynes Boone who represents the news organizations. “The public deserves to know the full details of the response to this tragic event, and the information could be critical in preventing future tragedies.”
