Allies of an embattled trustee, sanctioned by the Edgewood ISD board in January, lost to incumbents in a tight race.
Edgewood ISD Trustee Michael Valdez sits in with attendees at the Youth Budget Town Hall at the Central Library on Saturday.A trustee on the Edgewood Independent School Board of Trustees who made adhering to state policies a top priority won her seat on the troubled seven-member board.
But Richard Santoyo, the Place 7 incumbent who also backed state policies, has fallen behind with only 39% of the vote compared to Sergio Delgado’s 61%. In January, the board of trustees voted to sanction Valdez for violating board policies, citing a “pattern of disruptive and disrespectful conduct.” Valdez denied the charges, calling them retaliation for his young age and for opposing Edgewood Superintendent Eduardo Hernández.
