The 5-2 vote effectively served as a public reprimand. The Granbury ISD board has no power to ask or compel Karen Lowery to resign.
Lowery was elected to the board last November on a platform of ridding school libraries of what she described as inappropriate books. Given the opportunity to speak in her own defense, Lowery denied wrongdoing.
The woman accompanying Lowery, a parent of a student, told the clerk at the high school’s front desk her destination was the school’s cafeteria, where the school supply distribution was taking place.The clerk thanked the women for taking part in the act of charity. Both Lowery and the woman instead walked to the school’s library — using a “less direct route,” according to the investigation presented by attorney Joey Moore.
School marshals would not let anyone with bags or purses inside the meeting room. Everybody had to go through a security screening — a process that doesn’t exist for routine school board meetings — and one marshal said the board room had reached capacity nearly an hour before the 6 p.m. special meeting was set to begin.
Lowery’s supporters called the board’s proceedings a “kangaroo court,” saying they don’t understand why a board member needs permission to access a public school, thanking Lowery for fulfilling her campaign promises and wondering whether Lowery clearly violated district policy.
