The Fort Worth school board voted in favor of the proposed terminations of the two principals with a couple board members abstaining.
The firing of two principals in the Fort Worth school district drew a crowd at the district’s monthly school board meeting Tuesday, but trustees pushed forward their recommended terminations with no reasons given. .
Smith’s removal was approved in a 7-0 vote with board members Roxanne Martinez and Tobi Jackson abstaining; Garcia’s removal was approved in a 8-0 vote with Martinez abstaining again. Smith and Garcia did not return phone calls or emails to the Star-Telegram when seeking comment prior to the meeting. “This past month has been very challenging for her because she’s not able to do what she loves to do, which is to engage with and educate her students,” she said. “Her character and integrity, until now, has never been questioned. Every school in the district where my mother has been a leader has thrived.”
