Regarding the screenshots I’ve been getting this week pertaining to personnel decisions and job postings:

1. There is an unlimited supply of misperceptions amongst community members regarding the role of a school board, and they surface/spread each time a topic arises that people are passionate about
2. The Santa Fe ISD Superintendent’s direct reports are: Assistant Superintendent of HR & Communications, Chief Academic Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Athletic Director, Chief of Police, and all 5 head principals
3. All of the Superintendent’s direct reports are responsible for making personnel decisions for their individual teams
4. Texas law provides that discussion regarding personnel matters are confidential

Regarding the DOJ-COPS report:

1. The entire case for our tragedy has been in the hands of the DOJ/FBI and Galveston County DA since May 18, 2018
2. It was brought to our attention by community members that this additional area of the DOJ existed and was available to audit us as a third-party - so we reached out to them and entered into the process as those community members had asked us to do
3. The audit process was thorough and lasted 15 months
4. The Board did not set up *any* guardrails for the DOJ-COPS organization on what they were “allowed” to audit, and provided full access to everything they asked for, as well as everyone they sought to speak with during their audit process.

Pertaining to a completely unrelated situation…
Because accusations regarding a vote we did back in 2023 have been renewed this week, I am also sharing a post I shared back then here for those who may benefit from seeing it. The first sentence of that second paragraph is the most important.

Lastly… social media is great for a lot of things, and awful for others. I have zero ulterior motives as a trustee, do my best to be transparent, and do my best to put our kids first - while also respecting everyone involved in each situation I encounter and have actual control over as a board member. It’s disappointing when I see people I know - who get pulled into the vacuum and end up participating in conversations laced with assumptions and false accusations. Calm heads prevail. Pause before reacting or contributing to the spread of misinformation, and pick up the phone if needed. I’ve posted my cell multiple times and am doing it again here. If I don’t answer, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I am able. 832-385-8792

Extending my heartfelt condolences to the family of Coach Routh. He was an incredible person, coach and administrator, who impacted countless students - including me. His ability to balance being quite strict while also having a great sense of humor and being able to genuinely connect with kids, set the bar very high for everyone I encountered after first meeting him in elementary school. Plus, not everyone can talk a 3rd grader into standing in a chair in the cafeteria on their birthday to try to sing the lyrics to “Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog” in front of their peers.

“Singin' joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me”

Rest in peace, Coach Routh. Grateful to have known you ❤️
