"Discussion and possible action regarding termination for good cause as recommended by the Superintendent of the non-certified contract of Pete Arredondo," the meeting agenda for Saturday said.
Arredondo was placed on administrative leave in late June after he failed to cooperate with an investigation into law enforcement's response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on May 24 that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

The actions of the police at the time of the incident have been strongly criticized by the public and the media for the fact that officers waited for reinforcements for more than an hour and did not breach the classroom where a young man shot children and teachers with an assault rifle.
