To: Tabasco Elementary School Parents/Guardians From: Jaime Miller, Chief of Human Capital & Talent Development Date: November 5, 2024 Subject: Administrative Leave In response to a report of potential policy violations, Ms. Karen Villareal Leaños is being placed on paid administrative leave. This will allow the district to conduct a full and fair investigation into the allegations. In the meantime, the Administrative team in place at Tabasco Elementary School along with supports from Central Office will continue to prioritize the success of our students and staff at the campus. Because this is an ongoing investigation, there will be no additional comment from the district at this time.
