We're more concerned about your continued efforts to thwart the efforts of @roundrockisd citizens to gain access to public information, Sandra Carpenter, not the Board leadership's efforts to hold the District accountable. You aren't fooling anyone. #rrisd1family

President Chadwell: "you've questioned our integrity. Why can't we vote against the administration & ask questions in an effort 2hld the District accountable?"
@roundrockisd Sandra Carpenter: "You can, as long as it isn't against best interest of the DISTRICT."
#rrisd1family

She goes on to define the District as "administrative employees". #HOWARETHECHILDREN?!
@citizenstewart @KendallGPace

.@roundrockisd LAWYER, Sandra Carpenter, reports that she doesn't know what the term state decisis means. 😖 #rrisd1family

Names CITIZENS, BY NAME, in her PUBLIC grievance for having the nerve to be involved in public discussion abt their children and tax dollars. 🤮

*stare decisis

Starts "crying" on behalf of @roundrockisd district administrators and the burden of working under the scrutiny of an involved citizenry who asks critical questions of them. Miraculously dries up 2.5 seconds later. #rrisd1family

.@masonamoses asks @roundrockisd lawyer Carpenter what policies the Board should adopt to help Admin act in best interest of District (as defined as DISTRICT ADMIN EMPLOYEES).
@roundrockisd's lawyer's attorney: "listen to @tasbnews" 😮🤨

.@yesthatamyweir: the retaliation that you complain about seems to be our votes to maintain the current Board leadership. Does retaliation = votes against you?"
#rrisd1family

.@vessacory: is it possible that @kujayhawk1999 is upset with @roundrockisd because she rec'd a bill $2,264.56 after public request for basic info that another district gave her for free, not because she's racist?

President Chadwell: "What is your definition of transparency?"
Sandra Carpenter: "My idea of transparency is that there are some things that shouldn't be in writing because they're subject to open records requests." 🤔 #rrisd1family

The @roundrockisd Board convenes in open session on Sandra Carpenter's grievance.

President Chadwell: we have the privilege to listen to the @roundrockisd community. We shouldn't rubber stamp everything the district brings us. I stand by my emails. I hope that they're released along with this grievance soon, as I've requested.

.@vessacory: "if we can't ask questions of the district without it being interpreted as harassment and retaliation, how can we be expected to do our jobs?" #rrisd1family

.@masonamoses: hopefully there are some teachable moments here so we're working more collaboratively with district administrators (Chadwell going to OAG as the example).

Amber Feller: Board members should do some self reflection in how our questions of District Admin are being interpreted. We haven't been in public ed for 35 years and shouldn't minimize the feelings of employees who feel they're being attacked when we ask questions.

.@yesthatamyweir: I think we should dismiss the grievance because it didn't go through the proper informal hearing before reaching the Board for a vote.

.@masonamoses wants to tighten up policy but can't get wording right in his head.

.@smath3333: makes motion to deny level 3 grievance brought by Sandra Carpenter in professional capacity with understanding that policy will be tightened going forward.

.@masonamoses feels Carpenter was discriminated against and bullied. BOT member Gonzales agrees. Motion passes 4-3 with Moses, Feller and Gonzales opposed.

Feller makes motion to grant relief for level 3 grievance; motion fails. @smath3333 makes motion to deny relief for level 3 grievance brought against Board in her personal capacity. Motion passes 4-3; with Moses, Feller and Gonzales opposed.

The @roundrockisd BOT is in recess. The next item on the agenda is the annual review of Superintendent @sfloresRRISD. Please standby... #rrisd1family

Board re-convenes. @masonmoses wants to postpone review because things are heated, and there's a flash flood warning. The gallery objects. Board decides to take public comments and begin review.

Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority Board member Mike Doss thinks @sfloresRRISD is super awesome-sauce and that @roundrockisd BOT should vote go pay him more money. mobilityauthority.com/press/Mobility…
#rrisd1family

Former @roundrock mayor @rrcharlie reports that he's known lots of @RoundRockISD Superintendents over the years and @sfloresRRISD is the bee's knees (meanwhile <35% of our ES students aren't reading on grade level). #HowAreTheChildren #rrisd1family

.@RoundRockISD BOT goes to closed session.

*more than 35% of @roundrockisd ES students are reading below grade level.

.@roundrockisd BOT reconvenes and decides to adjourn until October 28th when they will continue the discussion of Superintendent @sfloresRRISD's annual review.

*November 11th, where I hear there will be punch and pie. If you're really lucky, you'll be named publically in a grievance filed by a district admin employee for paying attention and asking questions. That makes them cry.

Oct 28th is to hear another grievance.
