The Grand Prairie Independent School District’s Superintendent, Dr. Jorge Arrendondo, was placed on administrative leave after allegations were made against him. A law firm was hired to investigate the allegations, which were never disclosed to the public. After a three-hour closed-door meeting, the school board voted 4-2 that Arredondo had violated the district’s discrimination, harassment, and retaliation policy. Some community members expressed frustration at the lack of transparency in the process. Board members defended their decision, stating that they stand on policy and that the superintendent had violated it. Trustee Gloria Carrillo disagreed with the decision and called for Arredondo to be reinstated. The board mentioned that a report on the investigation will be made available to the community, but the timeline and the impact of the vote on Arredondo’s job status remain unclear. Arrendondo was only on the job for a few months before being placed on leave, and the reasons behind the allegations and subsequent investigation remain unknown. The board’s decision has sparked controversy and raised questions about the transparency and fairness of the process.
