The 19-year-old made headlines for being elected at such a young age, but has clashed with board colleagues.
Members of the Edgewood ISD board of trustees voted to begin an investigation into complaints against Trustee Michael Valdez.The Edgewood Independent School District board is launching an investigation into complaints against its newest trustee, Michael Valdez, who made headlines last year after being elected just months after he graduated from one of the district’s high schools.
“The only employees I interacted with is during the board meeting and the board workshops with the superintendent and the staff,” he said. “So I don’t know how they can have complaints against me when it’s, like, an open meeting.”“The board’s decision to hire an independent law firm to investigate employment complaints against Trustee Michael Valdez are not in retaliation for Mr. Valdez’s votes or discussion in prior board meetings,” J.
“Do you want us to go in the hospital room, and have a meeting over there?” Castilla said before Hernández asked the board to move on.Valdez insisted on speaking during the June meeting on various issues, ranging from a $10,000 contract for a board consultant, former trustee Roy Soto — which the board approved — to a vendor list and board policy.
During the June meeting, Valdez wanted to remove from the consent agenda items pertaining to purchasing an audiovisual system, the district’s compensation plan and the approved vendor list. But the board moved forward without discussion and approved the items, something Hernández noted later is permissible with a board majority vote under typical parliamentary procedure.
Trustee Hernandez also said that trustees could meet with the superintendent to discuss posted items at any time.A previous Edgewood board was removed by the Texas Education Agency in 2016 following months of dysfunction and replaced by a state-appointed board of managers. But as stability returned, local control was phased in, with a conservator overseeing the board and complete local control returning in 2020. The board is now in good standing with the state and has no oversight.
