The Santa Fe State Schools Education announced on Friday afternoon that he had accepted Larry Chavez’s resignation after nearly four years as a chief.
Amanda Chavez, who recently worked as an assistant director at Santa Fe High School, filed a complaint about sexual harassment against his former boss in early December.
According to a statement issued by her lawyers last week, Amanda Chavez reported that Larry Chavez had reported sexual progress through text messaging and then later avenged when she refused.
John Day and Jolene Youngers’ statement, the lawyers representing Amanda Chavez, claims that after she rejected these advances, Larry Chavez and other administrators made it clear that he would not be on a higher level position list in the school neighborhood , as a day of day explains.
“She received an increased type of monitoring and control from the chief’s office and his people in the command chain,” Day said.
“Suddenly she was criticized, she was getting the announcement that she was on a list – whether she had a real list or not – she was a name that would not be rewarded, she would not participate in the career opportunities.”
An area of dispute is about the degree of transparency practiced by the school board and the area.
Amanda Chavez’s lawyers wrote that within three days after receiving her complaint in December, the school district staff told her on December 9 that they “justified” her allegations.
John Day said Amanda Chavez thinks Larry Chavez should have been removed from his post at that moment.
“It is her concern, why was he not terminated by a cause when they justified her allegations two months ago?”
“Why was he left in a place where he could harass other women and students? Meanwhile, why the board seemed to be less than a transparent question that after” I “was a shit.
On a Sunday email message to the KSFR, however, the acting chief Veronica Garcia wrote that the charges were not justified on December 9, as the Council did not meet on the issue until the 14th.
She added that the Council could not comment on an ongoing investigation or court dispute.
Lawyer Jolin Youngers said the school board’s announcement came only once Amanda Chavez made his message last week.
“They moved decisively after Amanda Chavez issued his public statement. This is the first thing that really moves really – now it’s in the public. And then we see a board meeting and we see a resignation within days of making her public statement, “Youngs said.
The executive head of the Garcia email to the KSFR stated that the school council was “transparent on the issue, admissible under the law” and to ensure proper rights of the process of both parties.
The member of the school board, Sarah Boses, also addressed the issue of transparency in a prepared statement at the end of the school council meeting on Friday.
“We remain committed to encouraging a safe and nourishing environment for all students,” Boss said.
“The integrity of our education system is our main concern and every decision is made with the intention of maintaining the confidence and confidence of the Community. Due to recent events, it is crucial for everyone to understand that the Council is dedicated to maintaining transparency. “
Garcia wrote that the investigation on the matter continues when the search for a new permanent boss begins.
She wrote that the area is striving to have a new leader no later than July first.
Garcia confirmed that she would not seek the permanent position.
The change in the above assessment of the third time, when Veronica Garcia will serve as a commander or acting chief.
Her first stay began in the late 1990s. She returned to the role for the second time in 2016, serving until her retirement in 2021.
Amanda Chavez, who is a city councilor in Santa Fe, representing a county four, recently announced plans to run for a second term.
