The public profile at a glance

These facts are sourced first, then connected to board votes, parent concerns, and positive district records as the file grows.

The page separates praise, watch items, and verified concerns so the record can reward good conduct and expose bad conduct without mixing facts with claims.

Investigation queue

What gets checked next

Apply the same scrutiny standard to every trustee: family/employment ties, district vendors, church/nonprofit links only when tied to public office, Chapter 171 disclosures, recusals, and votes. Current Harleton lead: Kevin Evers's Place 4 appointment and any Craig Evers relationship/current-role record require public-source confirmation before scoring.
Board agendas, minutes, videos, and consent agendas for the last 24 months.
Public-comment records and parent concerns stated in official meetings or public posts.
Student safety, discipline, bullying, SRO, and sex-based privacy policy decisions.
Curriculum, library, SHAC, sex education, health education, and instructional material decisions.
Campaign finance, ballot filings, candidate applications, and election results.
Conflict checks: district vendors, family employment, nonprofits, foundations, and cross-district employment.
Legal checks: civil litigation, criminal records, ethics complaints, grievances, TEA matters, and board sanctions from public records.
Positive records: student achievement, staff raises, safety improvements, transparent votes, and community service.
