Austin ISD accuses former principal, executive director of violating school policy, report shows

ASAN (KXAN) – The officials of an independent school area in Austin recommended the end of the beloved principal and her supervisor a few days before her resignation, according to an internal investigation report submitted by requesting open records.

The recommendation to shoot at Ann Richards for the young women, Nicole Griffiths, came after the investigation office in professional standards decided that she and the executive director of secondary schools, Dr. Stasy Holiday, violated the policies of multiple provinces while dealing with the crisis status with a student.

The report claims that Griffiths – in the direction of the holiday – with a student from school without properly notifying the child or involving a change officer and accusing both teachers of referring the student to conduct a special educational evaluation despite the so -called “clear indicators”.

The report also claims that Griffiths and holidays have delayed re -registration of students based on disability and without legal justification.

Griffith’s lawyer said that the report, which was strongly revised, is “defective” and has “many mistakes.” Griffith’s lawyer said that due to the student privacy laws, his client was unable to comment on the details of this specific case.

“It will work unambiguously that her actions in this matter have been all implemented in the direction and/or approval of the direct supervisors, the legal administration AISD, the medical professionals and the appropriate government agencies,” said Griffith’s lawyer, Tiger Hanner. “There is nothing more important for Nicole Griffiths than the safety and security of its students at Ann Richards School.”

The report claims that the holiday issued the guidance to withdraw the student and then ordered Griffiths not to restore the student. It also states that the holiday said that she was not aware of not making an official written notice to the father.

“It has explicitly acknowledged that the boycott lacks the processes organized to deal with such complex situations effectively,” the report- a source of concern echoed by other employees in the provinces that were interviewed during the report.

Kxan reached a vacation but did not hear again. We will update this if changed.

The report stated that while Griffiths “postponed the directives of it [executive director]She did not challenge them – even when you contradict the boycott policy or fair access expectations. “

The report went on to say that “concerns about the student’s welfare were valid,” but the decision to delay enrollment “was not a document in politics” and “resulted in the exclusion of the weak student during the sharp need.”

During the tense board meeting on Thursday, former Austin ISD employee Senteya Soliz, who was also involved in the investigation report, told the details of the report that the report is only a small part of what happened.

“It is approximately 20 percent of the story. It covers four days – which is largely, like a shockingly incomplete.” “If one of the complaints, grievances and incomplete investigation can end the profession of marginalized women who led the region – what does this say about our ability to keep excellent leaders?”

“We are confident of our capabilities to conduct a comprehensive and comprehensive investigations,” provincial officials told KXan. They added that the province is employing operations for a comprehensive investigation into matters that require the investigation.

The records showed that Griffiths resigned on March 26, but according to her lawyer, she canceled her resignation. Over the past few weeks, members of the Ann Richards School, including students, have called for additional information and the return of Griffiths.

ISD said that he is limited in talking about employment affairs, but some of the provinces leaders met the families last week to discuss the situation – and the students and parents were explicit during the meeting of the Board of Directors on Thursday.

“If you make an error, the restorative justice is used, so it will be in support so that you can learn from it,” said a sixth grade student in the council. “I brought a strong and emotional leadership to our school.”

A community member said during the general comment: “Children and families who have been damaged cannot always speak. The grievance and investigation report legally supports the termination, and this decision must be supported.”

The school agenda indicated on Thursday that the Board of Directors can discuss matters related to Ann Richards School for young women during the executive session. The school’s board of directors did not respond to the KXAN request for comments, but AISD officials told KXan that the province will continue to evaluate the following steps.

The school council will have to evaluate more than just employees ’issues in the wake of the investigation report. Many employees who were interviewed as part of the investigation described the confusion about complex positions such as those in the Griffiths Center and the departure of the feast.

A spokesman for the school’s boycott told KXAN that the policy of withdrawal and registration had referred to the Board of Directors Politics Committee for review.
