Tightening the Screws in Tornillo

Well it appears that Dr. Jeannie Meza-Chavez supporters are feeling the heat from the community members and apparently from the news coverage and are tightening up around her.

Yesterday afternoon after school, Lupe Lopez handed out these flyers to parents that were leaving the school with their children.

Basically the flyer is imploring the community to support the Superintendent Dr. Jeannie Meza-Chavez and to not believe the slander and lies. It also states that the parents have the power to make a change. The rest says our superintendent is here to educate our children. At this moment she our support to meet the educational goals of the Tornillo ISD. Remember, support her. She's always available to listen

Lupe Lopez is married to Tornillo ISD Board Member Hector Lopez. Mr. Lopez is a relative of Dr. Meza-Chavez's husband, Jesus Chavez.

The flyer was handed out by Mrs. Lopez near where the crossing guard stands to assist students and parents when crossing the street. There is no indication as to whether this flyer was produced with district funds or if this is an independent effort. The document itself doesn't indicate on who's behalf or authority it is being distributed either.

While the flier implores the reader to not believe the slander or lies, it gives no indication as to what specifically the flier is referring to.

Multiple news stories have been done on the lack of a school nurse in the district and a follow-up story was also done about an incident involving a special needs student that was ultimately diagnosed with a concussion.

Since it is a fact that the district does not employ a school nurse and that the boy needed treatment at an emergency room, it is unclear as to what the slander and lies referred to in the letter are specifically.

There is also no indication as to whether or not this was done with the knowledge or permission of Dr. Meza-Chavez.

More to follow soon regarding some financial concerns raised recently...
