Sharyland ISD to pay $128K settlement - Monitor
Muñiz was the district’s assistant superintendent of business and finance until last summer, when he was reassigned maintenance director. His attorney, Kevin O’Hanlon, said Muñiz was not given a reason for the change and he filed a grievance with the district at the time, but no action was taken until this year. The board of trustees approved the settlement offer July 8 with a 5-1 vote — the only trustee present who voted against it was Rolando Peña. Muñiz was put on paid administrative leave effective Monday, O'Connor said, and he must submit his resignation letter by August 31 for the district to give him $120,810 — the remainder of his settlement. Muñiz was hired as assistant superintendent of business and finance on Oct. In January, the Texas Education Agency opened a formal investigation on the district’s business practices, of which Muñiz had been in charge of for about 12 years. This article was modified to reflect that Jesus "Jesse" Muñiz was employed by the district since October 8, 2002. He was assistant superintendent of business and finance for 12 years before being reassigned. Source: www.themonitor.com
