A Fort Worth ISD high school golf coach was proposed for termination during a school board meeting last week as the Texas Education Agency reviews allegations of misconduct, district officials confirmed Thursday.
North Side High School coach Jesus Sanchez-Ontiveros faced the board action during an Oct. 13 meeting.
The board took action to propose termination of Sanchez-Ontiveros’ employment contract. He has a right to appeal this decision prior to any final action by the board to terminate his contract, Fort Worth ISD officials said in a statement.
“During this time, the individual remains an employee of the District on administrative leave. While on administrative leave, the individual has no access to District facilities or District students,” the statement read.
According to the TEA certification portal, Sanchez-Ontiveros is currently under review by the TEA Educator Investigations Division following an allegation of misconduct. He could not immediately be reached for comment.
A parent complained to the board during the meeting that North Side families were not notified of the situation. Fort Worth ISD did not respond to Star-Telegram requests for copies of any communications sent to families regarding the matter.
Further details regarding the reason for the proposed termination were not released.
