Put yourself in Carmen Gonzalez' shoes. Since you needed votes for your past election. You promised Mario Salinas, Maria Luisa Guerra, and Ron Cavazos that they would get to be the next Edinburg Superintendent, in return for there votes. Now, that the position is open what in the world do you do?
You go into executive session and suggest that the new superintendent must have a doctoral degree. Knowing that none of these three have a PH degree. That's one way to wipe your hands clean. Just blame the other school board members that they suggested that the next superintendent must have a Ph degree. But it was Carmen that made the suggestion. These three need to thank Carmen for getting screwed.
More juicy news!
Our next edinburg superintendent will come from San Antonio. And he does have a doctoral degree. His wife is also employed with National Education Systems (NES) . The same company Carmen is employed by. Imagine Carmen doing the interview process knowing full well that his wife is also a co worker of Carmen Gonzalez!
EMS wants a loan from the EDC
Back in the '90's EMS got a business loan from the city of edinburg. That loan was never paid back and went into default. Now, these people want another loan from the taxpayers for medical training. But the law states that if you owe the city any money. You can not get another loan from the city unless you pay that other loan back. Your taxpayer money is really hard at work thanks to, Mr. Golden Parachute himself, Ramiro Garza.
