In Other Schools

Two weeks after the arrests of PSJA School Board member Roy Rodriguez, architect Joe Lopez and contractor Pedro Gutierrez , PSJA School Board member Vangie Garcia-De Leon has now been arrested.

The details of the arrests have yet to be revealed, but it will only be a matter of time before more arrests are to be made in the PSJA district.

According to The Monitor, "In January 2005, the FBI raided school district offices and the homes and/or personal offices of school board members Rodriguez, Jaime Santa Maria, Vangie Garcia-De Leon and Roy Navarro, as well as Superintendent Arturo Guajardo. Santa Maria was arrested six months after the raids and later pleaded guilty to corruption charges. "

Rodriguez is accused of accepting bribes in exchange for votes on construction jobs.

Oh the temptations elected officials are faced with. Do people not remember what happened when Eve lured Adam into biting the apple?
