During the public-comment portion of the Oct. 16 Alamo Heights ISD board meeting, a citizen identified as Miss Fox made a statement about an incident involving her son and asked the board to review administrative handling and discipline.

Miss Fox said more than $256,000 had been donated "to Alamo Heights Athletics" in a single month and questioned how the money is allocated. She then described an incident involving her son, saying he "does not want to be hit on his **** by his teammate that he does not know or ever talk to" and that her son "got suspended for assault while the other person slammed my son on the floor" and that the other student was not disciplined and "played in that week's football game alone."

The board chair read the rules for citizens to be heard before her remarks and reminded speakers not to name individual students or personnel in public comments. The chair also said, "the board will not respond to your comments tonight, but we welcome and appreciate your input" and that staff would follow up as necessary. At the close of her remarks the chair said, "We will move on to item number 4."

The board did not take action during the meeting and did not make public findings about the incident; Miss Fox’s statements were presented as her account during the public-comment period. The board’s public-comment rules and due-process considerations were read before the speaker began, and the chair reiterated that the board would follow up separately if appropriate.
