Kenedy board halts at settlement with Garza over contract
The Kenedy School District unanimously approved paying Superintendent Joe N. Garza 46325 as a partial buyout to end his contract. He will remain on paid administrative leave until Nov 18 to preserve retirement eligibility, while facing prior indictments for aggravated perjury and record tampering. Kasprzyk noted the amount avoids loss of state funding under a new law. Garza previously settled in Poteet in 1998.
