The school district placed Matt Montoya on paid adminsitrative leave last month while they conducted an investigation on him, but won't say what it involves because its a personnel matter.

Bear Creek parent Cricket Daniel learned of the latest development from Montoya recently.

"I did receive an email from Matt Montoya stating that at the school board next Tuesday, July 23rd, there will be an open forum for parents to show up and then the school board will go behind clsoed doors. I think he'd appreciate the support from parents who want to see Mr. Montoya stay at the helm at Bear Creek."

Matt Montoya has been the principal at Bear Creek for three years.

In late June, more than 100 parents rallied in support of him during the last school district discussion about possibly getting rid of him.

The school board meeting that will decide Montoya's fate is next Tuesday July 23rd.
