The Mansfield ISD Board of Trustees values transparency and believes it is important to keep the community informed regarding matters that affect the district.

The Board of Trustees recently received information alleging that Board President Dr. Jandel Crutchfield may not reside within Mansfield ISD boundaries, which is a requirement for service on the board. After discovery of these allegations, the board referred this matter to district counsel last week. This matter is being thoroughly investigated by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Mansfield ISD Board of Trustees.

The Board takes all concerns seriously and is committed to a fair, impartial process that protects the integrity of the District and the due process rights of all involved. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Board will not provide further comment at this time. A statement will be issued as soon as the review has been completed.
