BISD Candidates for November 4th Election
Position 3 | Position 4 | Position 5 | Position 6 (Open) | Position 7 |
 Otis Powers |  Pat Lehman |  Rolando Aguilar |  Joe Cadriel |  Joe Colunga |
 Catalina Presas-Garcia |  Rick Zayas |
| ||
 Moises Gonzalez |
Yesterday, August 26th, was the filing deadline for candidacy in the November 4th BISD Board Trustee elections. When the elections were held in May, the filing deadline was 62 days prior. Now that they're held on the General Election day, it's 70 days out. I never knew that until today, FWIW.
A few notes:
- Obvious kudos go out to Colunga and Aguilar for avoiding opponents.
- There's a fresh face or two (at least to me) in Moises Gonzalez and Minerva Pena, both vying for the vacated spot against veteran trustee Joe Cadriel.
- Presas-Garcia is back and I guess either of her claimed residences should qualify for District eligibility this time around in her race against Otis.
- Rick Zayas, while ably chairing the BISD Bond Oversight Committee, presents a more-than-welcome challenge to Lehman.
- It should be noted that due to the movement of the elections to November and in an effort to more equally stagger the various terms, Position 4 (the one Zayas would occupy) is a 2-year term.

PSJA ISD Indictments Now Online.
A good read, those PSJA indictments are.
It's enough to GALVANize taxpayers and give the LAYMEN in town agita, seeking a DR . I wonder if the same can be said for the POWERS that be?
Only time will tell, I guess.

BISD Board - March 20, 2007
BISD Board of Trustees Meeting - March 20, 2007
Agenda.
Jumps to Lehmann's & Escobedo's respective temper tantrums from the 5-2 approval of the superintendent's revised recommendation for 6th high school architect.
If Gonzalez can admit defeat in a mature fashion, why can't "Chateau Whatever" Lehmann and Escobedo?

BISD BOC/Facilities - February 1, 2007
BISD Bond Oversight/Facilities Committees Joint Meeting - February 1, 2007
Agenda.
Below, are the BISD Bond Oversight Committee's and the Board Facilities Committee's preliminary top 3 rankings of the five architectural firms asked to make presentations for construction of the planned high-school (above video).
| B.O.C. | BISD Facilites |
| 1. Gomez Mendez Saenz, Inc. | 1. PBK |
| 2. PBK | 2. Gignac |
| 3. Gignac | 3. Gomez Mendez Saenz, Inc. |
Interestingly, Superintendent Gonzalez thought the B.O.C. rankings were close. BOC Chaiman Mike Rodriguez replied that that wasn't necessarily the case. Granted, final rankings are subject to site visits of each firm's previous projects, but will the BISD Board have the stones to go against what the B.O.C. (a diverse collection of professionals from the community) recommends?
Stay tuned on this issue.
*On another note, looks like architectural firm Vitetta's
