The Fort Bend School Board Spends Your Money To Hide Their Records
Share this story:
The Texas Attorney General has directed Fort Bend School Board Trustees Kristin Tassin and Dave Rosenthal to turn over phone records of school business.
Your business.
Dolcefino Consulting had sought the records in an investigation of school rezoning after the school board ignored the protests of parents. Tassin even called the parents and students bullies for fighting to stay at the school with their friends.
What did the Fort Bend School Board do?
They filed a lawsuit in Austin against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
You know who’s paying the legal bill? The taxpayers of Fort Bend ISD.
“The Fort Bend school board would rather spend your money keeping secrets than educating children. It’s shameless,” says Wayne Dolcefino, President of Dolcefino Consulting.
The lawsuit puts a temporary halt on a criminal investigation into illegal withholding of public records by the two school trustees.
Fort Bend ISD has also asked the Texas Attorney General to hide all the records used to justify rezoning of Fort Settlement Middle School.
“The arrogance from the Fort Bend school board is stunning,” says Dolcefino. “Parents in Fort Bend ISD have a right to see ALL the records.”
Cooperative Strategies, the company that worked on the rezoning, was paid $95,800 according to invoices the District first tried to hide but finally released this week. They now want to hide emails between school board members and the company.
No court date is set for the Fort Bend lawsuit in Austin.
