The Drama Continues in Valley Schools
The fate of Donna I.S.D. administrators may finally be decided at a special called meeting this afternoon.
Donna School Board Meeting Agenda
On the agenda, possible suspension of Superintendent Joe Gonzalez and the termination of Donna ISD's General Counsel Jacques Trevino.
Andale.....
The Donna school district has been under intense scrutiny following a TEA investigation last summer upon allegations of wrong-doing by someone in Donna.
TEA Report on Donna ISD Made Public
The Monitor
Ironically, Donna School Board President George Hernandez, who may have called the special meeting, is currently facing charges of 11 counts of conspiracy and extortion in a federal indictment unsealed June 5 as part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo school district bribery scandal. Hernandez's charges are not related to his school board position in Donna.
Its been a rough year for Superintendents in the valley. Last year Edinburg ISD suspended Superintendent J.L Salinas for violating nepotism rules and La Joya ISD School Board members, shortly after gaining a new majority, dismissed Filomena Leo. The Board never did reveal the reason (although School Board member Fito Salinas did state to the Monitor "It's political. I'm not going to say it's not.") for Leo's suspension or termination, but in another event of irony, Leo was hired earlier this year to serve as Interim Superintendent in Raymondville after School Board members terminated Superintendent Roy Casteneda for putting up signs for challengers of 2 Raymondville ISD Board members.
FBI raids, TEA investigations, election challenges, suspensions, elected officials trying to evade taxes, is there any political stability in this place?
Update: In a 4-3 vote this afternoon, the Donna ISD School Board voted to suspend the supe and terminate the lawyer. Politics has always been crazy, but now our schools are being invaded, couls this be a trend in thevalley?

The answer to your question...yes. Although, despite everything that was thrown around and said, the LJISD school corruption didn't really start until these USA fools took office. There was a bunch of rumors and hearsay thrown around before that, but look at the source...the same people who have already proven their ineptitude at running a school district: Kino Flores and his underlings.
That's right truth! The corruption began with them. They have one thing in their minds and that is "I want the money from the district for myself!" Kids? What kids? You mean I am supposed to think of them while in office? That is their mentality. I hear Kino is taking back some of his old help. I wonder why that is?
