Calls by union members, coworkers and parents for San Antonio Independent School District trustees not to fire a kindergarten teacher were not enough to stop the board from voting to end her probationary contract.
Rachell Tucker, a dual language teacher at Highland Park Elementary School, was one of three district employees with probationary contracts who will lose their jobs at the end of the school year. The board vote Monday evening was unanimous.
