Two Aledo ISD mothers who said their sons were the target of racial bullying addressed the school board publicly Thursday night, expressing concern over their children s well-being and protection.
âWe â our families and our sons who are being put through this because of the stance that you all failed to take â feel that you all failed them,â one mother said during the special called meeting.
The mothers said they were notified about the incident on March 25 when screenshots of a Snapchat group surfaced.
âIt was a post from a Snapchat entitled â(N-word) Auction,ââ one of the mothers said. âAs I looked down on the screen at the various name changes of the group, it included âSlave Trade,â it included â(N-word) Farmâ and then I saw my sonâs name.â

âWe have not closed our doors due to COVID once. Not once have we had to close one school, one day, due to COVID-19, which is incredibly unique,â AISD Superintendent Susan Bohn said. âWe are constantly reviewing recommendations and our protocols in an effort to do the best we can this school year in a very difficult situation to keep our schools open, to keep our staff operating at the highest levels and to keep our students learning at the highest levels.â
