HOUSTON — The Houston Independent School District acknowledged Monday that termination messages were mistakenly sent to some employees. They blame it on 'system failures.'
A district official said the employees who received the messages still had the same employment status with the district as they had before the messages being sent. They also were notified of the error.
It's not clear how many employees the notice went to or when they went out.
The district said it was working to fix the issue to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Here's the full HISD response:
"HISD is aware of a recent incident involving termination messages that were mistakenly sent to a group of employees.
"The incident occurred due to system failures. Immediate action has been taken to rectify the situation, and effected (sic) employees have been notified about the error.
"It's important to note that at this time, the effected (sic) employees' positions, employment status and standing with the district remain as they were prior to incident.
"We are actively working to resolve the problem and implement measures to prevent this type of error from happening again in the future."
