Five individuals spoke Tuesday evening to the Killeen Independent School District board of trustees about the lack of due process rights for district educational support professionals.
Killeen Educators Association president Rick Beaulé spoke during public forum citing the names of 10 Texas school districts, including Austin ISD and Fort Worth ISD, that already have adopted due process rights for their lowest-paid employees.
âThe law of the land in these districts gives these Education Support Professionals, or ESPâs, a guaranteed review of disciplinary issues prior to dismissal, rather than the fear of being terminated for little or no reason,â Beaulé said.
