By BISD Administration
Mr. Cesar Lopez recently announced that he is stepping down as President of the Board of Trustees.
Mr. Lopez was first appointed to the board in 2013 and was then elected to a four-year term in November of 2014.
He has been the Board President for one year and six months and has dutifully served in various committees.
In keeping with district policy, Mr. Carlos A. Elizondo assumed the duties of President of the Board.
(The idea that Elizondo, who is facing 15 charges or theft and breach of security after he allegedly logged into the City of Brownsville fire department computers and is out on bond pending his criminal trial on those charges, can be made president of the BISD board is ludicrous.
Lopez was said to have been under family pressure to step down as president of the board. He will remain on the board. Both have filed affidavits of conflict of interest in relation to two firms doing business with the district.
The board must now vote to make the changes official.)
