(Geronimo) — School Board President Dr. Greg Gilcrease came under attack during Wednesday night’s meeting of the Navarro ISD Board of Trustees.
During the public comments portion of the agenda, several members of the community not only spoke on the lack of transparency used by Gilcrease and the rest of the board in filling a pair of board vacancies, but they also accused him of not living where he says he lives.
The comments came minutes before the school board moved forward with administering the oath of office to its newly appointed trustees Tracy Large and Melissa Sartain. The board was forced to fill the positions after the top vote getter in the Nov. 3 school board election, Katherine Ewald, officially declined the position. The second vacancy was that of Rick Martin, who died in October. Instead of appointing the candidate who appeared next in line in the election, the board opted to fill the third available spot by choosing from a pool of resumes.
