Raymondville to hold meeting regarding superintendent candidate

RAYMONDVILLE — The school board will let residents speak out about the proposed hiring of Seguin’s former superintendent for the district’s top job.

A June 22 meeting will allow residents to discuss with board members the selection of Stetson Roane as the finalist for the job.

Earlier this week, residents requested an “open forum” to discuss their concerns with board members who voted 5-2 to select Roane as the finalist on June 6.

State policy gives school boards 21 days from the date they select their finalists to officially hire superintendents.

Here, board members are scheduled to vote on Roane’s appointment on June 28.

The June 22 meeting will give residents a chance to “have a dialogue, ask more questions,” school board President John Solis said at a board meeting Tuesday.

Two residents expressed concern that Roane faced a sexual harrassement claim at the Seguin school district.

Another resident, reading from a letter from Roane’s attorney, said the district “made no adverse finding” against Roane.
