LA VERNIA, Texas – Officials with La Vernia Independent School District have yet to hand over to KSAT 12 copies of text messages sent to and from its embattled former superintendent more than six weeks after the Texas Attorney General’s Office ordered them to do so. KSAT 12 filed a complaint late last year with the attorney general’s office, claiming the cost estimate to view the records is excessive. State law allows public entities, such as La Vernia ISD, to charge for programming and manipulation of data if someone wants to conduct an in-person inspection of electronic records. It is our intention to ensure all students feel comfortable and safe while attending La Vernia ISD and will always support students when they voice their concerns,” said La Vernia ISD secretary Jeff Towns as he read from a prepared statement Nov. 18. Embattled La Vernia ISD superintendent resignsLovette was placed on leave and then reinstated less than three weeks later in late 2018 after a separate investigation into his workplace behavior.
