LIVE OAK, Texas – The Judson Independent School District School Board voted to propose termination of the employment contract for superintendent Milton ‘Rob’ Fields III on Wednesday evening.  The vote comes after months of debate between board members, including at least four agenda items over the last year, on whether to terminate Fields due to an ongoing, closed-door investigation.  “This is bad timing,” trustee Laura Stanford said. “I don’t feel it’s responsible for us to take this action.” The proposal was decided on a 4-3 split, with trustees Suzanne Kenoyer, Jose Macias Jr. and Stanford being a vocal minority against Board President Monica Ryan and the other three board members.  Fields will remain on administrative leave with pay, according to a statement from Ryan, “pending the conclusion of the legal process as required by the Texas Educational Code.”During the same meeting, the Board voted to appoint Dr. Mary Duhart-Toppen as Interim Superintendent. Dr. Duhart-Toppen brings deep institutional knowledge and  experience, and is dedicated to providing steady leadership and continuity during this transition. view article
