Judson ISD Board of Trustees voted to close Judson Middle School next school year in an effort to balance the district\u2019s $37 million budget shortfall.<\/p>\n
The unanimous vote to close Judson Middle School leaving employees sad to see their students\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad I\u2019m not subbing at Judson Middle School tomorrow because I know they\u2019re going to be heartbroken,\u201d LaKisha Owens said.<\/p>\n
Board members sparing Kitty Hawk Middle School from getting the ax as part of its downsizing plan to make up for its $37 million shortfall. Last week the board announced it would also close three elementary schools to meet its budget.<\/p>\n
A meeting to discuss which elementary schools should close will be held on Saturday with trustees slated to vote on the exact closures next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s meeting then turned to the hiring of a new superintendent for the district, which also recently voted to fire its current one. The meeting got heated between Judson Board president Monica Ryan and District 1 Trustee Suzanne Kenoyer about discussions of interviewing a new interim superintendent.<\/p>\n
During the meeting Judson ISD Board President Monica Ryan told the security guard to escort Trustee Kenoyer out of the meeting after she continued to question the legality of interviewing a new interim superintendent.<\/p>\n
Kenoyer voluntarily left the meeting after the verbal altercation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Mrs. Ryan is clearly without board authority, or there is a clear violation of the Open Meetings Act. She placed on the agenda interviews of a new interim superintendent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kenoyer said she had no knowledge of a new interim superintendent being interviewed<\/p>\n
After board went into closed session for over three hours they named Robert Jaklich as the district\u2019s new interim superintendent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Judson ISD Board of Trustees voted to close Judson Middle School next school year in an effort to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":596321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-596320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116086010358152714","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/596321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
