The Uvalde CISD school board took no action in a specially called meeting surrounding the board itself.
“We gotta look at ourselves, and we’ve got to take a look, a hard look, and see what is the best thing for the community. What is the best thing for the families, what is the best thing for the board, and basically sometimes the best thing to do is save whatever dignity you have and just resign,” Rizo said.
While Rizo didn’t call him out by name at the podium, he made it clear later he was referring to school board member JJ Suarez. “He was one of the officers that was in that hallway. He was one of the officers that elected to walk out,” Rizo said.Consider and discuss the employment of a school administrator.Consider and discuss board member roles and responsibilities.While no action was taken when they reconvened, Rizo hopes pressure from the community and other board members will lead to Suarez stepping down on his own.
“The decisions that he’s making, the votes that he’s casting, it could potentially hurt the school district in the long run -- not just with the trust and faith and stuff like that, but I think the school district would be better off the board members asking him to resign,” Rizo said. Board president Luis Fernandez said discussions would continue on the board’s operating procedures, leading to no action being taken Monday night.Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Leigh Waldman is a news reporter at KSAT 12.
