Recently, Conroe Independent School District (ISD) has been in the news twice due to two separate incidents. The first was when a trustee, Melissa Dungan, argued that classroom displays of “racial inclusivity and pride” should be removed. Dungan is part of a “mama bear” takeover that recently occurred in the school board election. Tiffany Nelson and Misty Odenweller also won seats in the election on conservative platforms.
The second incident involved a Conroe ISD bus aide who was caught on camera striking a student. ABC-13 reported that the district has not released the name of the employee, but students have expressed shock at the event. Alexa Perez, a 17-year-old Conroe ISD student, told KPRC “I was honestly shocked, I never expected that I would see someone that is supposed to be a role model and a leader in our school, like a staff member. I would never think that they would put their hands on a kid”.
Conroe ISD is taking action in response to the incident. The Conroe Police Department is completing an investigation with the expectation of pursuing criminal charges. In addition, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Public Integrity Section is also investigating the former employee. The district released a statement stating that they are disturbed by the behavior and that the individual is no longer employed by the district.
