The Grand Prairie ISD school board could discuss possibly firing its superintendent now that his order blocking them from doing so has been voided.
Jorge Arredondo was put on paid leave in early September amid unspecified allegations that he violated board policy. He had been on the job for about two months.
Arredondo sued the district and trustees in October, alleging he had been denied the chance to defend himself against their claims. In his lawsuit, he said the district violated his contractual and constitutional rights. He was granted a Temporary Restraining Order preventing trustees from considering his dismissal, but that order was voided when GPISD requested the case be moved to federal court.
At a special meeting Monday night, the board will go into closed session to discuss the case then 鈥渃onsider and take possible action regarding employment of Superintendent, including proposed termination.鈥�
Arredondo鈥檚 attorney, Mary Nix, said despite that wording, trustees could also reinstate the superintendent, and she鈥檚 鈥渙ptimistic鈥� they will. She told 四虎影院 in an email there 鈥渋s no basis for a decision to terminate [Arredondo鈥檚] employment.鈥�
