GCISD board votes to deny Level 3 grievance; one trustee abstains

After returning from closed session on July 28, the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District board of trustees voted to deny a Level 3 grievance. The motion to deny the grievance passed by show of hands with a tally reported as six in favor and one abstention.

Trustee Sager moved to deny the Level 3 grievance and Trustee Kathy Spradley seconded the motion. During discussion Trustee Dahlia (last name not specified in the transcript) announced she would recuse herself from the vote and did so. The board chair then called for a vote; the motion passed with six yes votes and one abstention.

The board recorded no further action on remedies in open session; staff indicated the denial was the board’s formal disposition of the Level 3 matter. The board did not provide additional details in open session about the grievance’s substance or the grounds for denial.
