Both Carroll ISD and the teacher came to an agreement during a hearing Monday morning. Neither the district nor the teacher’s attorney would say much about the agreement they were able to reach, only saying both sides are pleased with the outcome.
Carroll ISD is closing the chapter on a monthslong issue involving fourth-grade teacher Rickie Farah and a book on racism in her classroom library at Johnson Elementary School in Southlake. Southlake Carroll ISD teachers told Holocaust lessons need 'opposing viewpoints'
"There is simply nothing wrong with what the teacher did," one parent said at the hearing. "The parents couldn’t file a grievance about the book in the teacher’s library, so they made a cock-and-bull story about the teacher’s behavior." In complaints filed, Farah claims she was never interviewed at any level of the grievance process and that the board violated board policy and school laws in the state of Texas. "Just as a board of non-medical professionals should not reprimand a doctor’s medical decisions, a school board — particularly one of individuals who do not value educators — should not be allowed to reprimand a teacher," said parent Stephanie Williams.
"The board of trustees does not intend to limit the discretion of responsibilities of the superintendent or the campus principal," said board member Andrew Yeager. "The board encourages the superintendent to take actions he deems appropriate."
