Elgin ISD holds off on decision following superintendent’s DUI arrest

The Elgin Independent School District Board of Trustees delayed a decision on Superintendent Christopher Bailey’s future Thursday following his recent driving-under-the-influence charge. Trustees met in a closed session Nov. 5 to discuss Bailey’s employment and consult with legal counsel before announcing no further action would be taken at this time. “The board has reviewed the facts surrounding Dr. Bailey’s actions,” trustees said in a statement. “Dr. Bailey takes this matter seriously and is taking steps to address the situation.” Bailey, 47, was arrested Oct. 29 while traveling home from Austin and later released from the Travis County Jail on a $4,000 bond. The board did not announce any disciplinary action or indicate whether the matter would be revisited at a later meeting. More to come in the Elgin Courier.
