VOLUNTEERS DIDN'T KNOW OF SCHOOL CLOSING PLANS

(Ed.'s Note: This feel-good article appeared today in the Education Section of the local daily. In two of the photos Brownsville Independent School District Superintendent and two trustees (bottom Carlos Elizondo and top left Cesar Lopez) gave awards of recognition to parent volunteers at two schools, Cummings Middle School on the bottom and Longoria Elementary on top.

Enedelia Alfaro was honored for her dedication at helping Cummings and Dolores Lopez at Longoria. The photo at Cummings was taken Dec. 6, and the photo at Longoria was taken Nov. 30, 2016.

But just yesterday, January 17, 2017, Zendejas and her administration brought forth a proposal that both school be closed and that the students be assigned other schools. Would the two parents have been as happy as they seem to be when they were giving the recognition for helping their kids at their schools if they knew the administration had this plan in mind all along?

Zendejas and the two trustees knew. Why didn't they tell them? Fortunately, a majority on the BISD board did not take action on the agenda item and demanded that Zendejas show them alternatives to closing the schools and cited the lack of public input as a reason for tabling the decision. But to the average reader, it seems like a nice thing to do for parent volunteers even if they keep them in the dark.)
