Employer using blackmail as grounds for threats (school laws)

Location: Texas (emplloyer and private school laws)

Story sort of from a friend. Setting: There is a school that has an actual directory staff (office people who answer calls and manage everyday things) and an overarching Board of Directors (BoD). BoD has absolute power– they decide by a vote who gets hired on school staff, and the president decides who is on the board, and the president cannot be impeached/removed in any way. The Board also has zero interraction with the school. I’ve been a construction contractor there in the summers for 5+ years and never once met any of the board members. I know all of the staff like family.

>> There is a disagreement between the directory staff who actually run the school and the BoD who have absolute (far-removed) power over which direction the school should go in the future.

1. Recently, some parents at the school have been spreading false rumors trying to get the school director fired because a problematic teacher that people like (bad, rule-breaker, MANY health and safety violations, probable abuse of kids) was fired. BoD silenced the directorial staff so they cannot explain the real reasons for the teacher being fired… so all that the parents know is that their favorite teacher got fired, not that he was actively endangering their kids.

2. BoD is falling for the rumors, debating firing entire directoral staff.

3. Parents hold PRIVATE parent meeting that the BoD is barred from attending.

4. Insurgent parents (who do not represent majority of parents/are fired teacher’s bribed h*rem) present BoD with “meeting minutes” that make up events that didn’t actually happen during the parent meeting.

5. BoD uses illgaly obtained “meeting notes” from meeting they are not allowed to know anything about as blackmail to try to force the school head staff to blackmail other teachers and staff into quitting voluntarily.

Is this actually illegal? Or protected under Texas employer rights? Yes they are trying to use coertion through blackmail… BUT as the target’s employer, is that legal?

We aren’t directly seeking law enforcement assistance– we can manage this situation without direct legal intervention, but it will cost a lot of good teachers and probably the entire livelihood of the school (school will probably implode and shut down forever).

TLDR: Board of Directors with absolute power use illegally acquired information to force actual school director staff to blackmail teachers into voluntarily quitting.

PS: I don’t know how long this post will be up for. This is a secret account that noboy involved should know about, but there are evil people who will want to find this post by any means and use it against us.
