S-T ISD Trustees Vote to Consult School Attorney in AG Investigation

A Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees of Skidmore-Tynan ISD was held Monday, September 18, 2006, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the S-T ISD Board Room.

The specially called meeting addressed a single action item:

• Action to retain school's legal counsel to communicate with the Attorney General's office regarding any and all matters on alleged investigation regarding Skidmore-Tynan ISD's Board members and staff. (Mr. Rick Olivares)

Superintendent Dr. Brett Belmarez repeatedly advised Trustees against using public funds for what he viewed as a private legal matter. After much discussion, a motion to retain the District's attorney was made by board president Rick Olivares and seconded by Daniel Gonzales. The motion passed by a 4-2 vote with Ken Haggard and Keith Petrus dissenting.

The next regular meeting of the S-T ISD Board of Trustees is scheduled at 6:00 p.m., Monday, October 9, 2006.
