South San Antonio ISD board appointed 2 new trustees and got a lot done — maybe
Board member Gilbert F. Rodriquez listens to a presentation Tuesday. He later walked out of the meeting as the board began to vote to appoint new trustees, raising doubts about whether the board had a quorum to continue meeting.For weeks, dysfunction on the South San Antonio Independent School District board has kept it from approving major decisions needed for schools to be ready to open this month.
But because of doubts about whether one of the new board members was properly appointed, questions lingered about the legality of all those actions. The board had achieved a quorum and could legally meet that night only because Rodriguez had shown up at the last minute.Arrellano quickly called for a vote on a motion to appoint Gina Rovello, 41, to the board. He joined trustees Stacey Alderete and Homer Flores in approving it.Rovello, appointed to replace Connie Prado, a, took her seat on the board.
So he was out — forced out, he said in an interview — but even a trustee who is out continues to function as a trustee until replaced.With Rodriguez bolting — but apparently not quite out of the room yet — as Rovello was appointed, it’s unclear whether the board’s subsequent decisions that night will hold up.
