The interim superintendent authorized a transfer of money to cover a payment that was due Tuesday, which is the trustees' duty.
Henry Yzaguirre, interim superintendent of South San ISD, might have violated Texas Education Code by completing a task that the board, which hasn't met since mid-January, is meant to complete instead.The interim superintendent of the South San Antonio Independent School District possibly violated the Texas Education Code by completing a task that board trustees had not accomplished because they’ve failed to meet since mid-January.
“To fail to have a budget amendment in place before money is dispersed could certainly violate the education code and potentially even be a criminal violation,” she said. Baskin said cooperation among board members and the superintendent is written into the education code and that the role of the board is the oversight of management. The superintendent’s duty is the actual management of the district.
“They hold in trust for the children of their community the assets and the well-being of the district, so that idea of performing a public trust is just baked into the name,” she said. “They are charged to work as a body corporate, even if they come from single member districts. They give voice to that area of the community without having that be their sole factor for decision-making.”
“It’s a crying damn shame that these people want to play these political games,” he said. “All of you should resign because you’re not here for the kids.” Six meetings have been called since Jan. 19, including one posted for Jan. 27. Rodriguez knew before the meeting that trustee Gina Villagomez would not be able to attend and that trustees Arrellano, Prado and Ibarra would attend virtually, according to Saavedra’s report. Despite knowing there would be no quorum, Rodriguez didn’t cancel the meeting, causing vendors to travel to the district and employees to extend their workdays by several hours.
