Hiring of interim super postponed
Published June 27, 2008
The public school board did not hire an interim superintendent Thursday night.
After opening the San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting, president Raymond Meza took the panel behind closed doors for more than three hours.
“Because the superintendent search has been delayed, I feel it is in the best interest of the district to hire a superintendent,” said Meza immediately before the board entered closed session.
Dr. Dana Marable, who holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from Texas A&M, was the sole candidate interviewed.
Since 1993 Marable has held superintendent posts with the Longview, Marble Falls and Medina Valley school districts, according to her resume.
She is also listed as the interim superintendent with the Temple Independent School District.
When the board returned at 10:15 p.m., vice president Stanley Blackstone announced the panel would revisit the issue when all board members are present.
“I want to make it perfectly clear we do not procrastinate; we are methodical,” said Blackstone.
Three board members were absent – Dr. Fernando Quiz was teaching at Sul Ross State University in Eagle Pass, Sandie Bostick is out of the country on a job assignment and a message left for Joe David Zuniga on his cell phone was not returned by press time.
Blackstone said the board decided to wait on a decision until everyone is present and given a chance to vote.
He said the board might also look at other candidates for the interim position.
Thursday’s meeting came on the heels of an announcement from assistant superintendent of instruction Julio Ramos that he would be retiring at the end of July.
Though rumors circulated that Ramos was contemplating retirement, he did not officially notify the district until this week.
Roberto “Bobby” Fernandez announced earlier this year his plans to retire by the end of December, but has said he would leave sooner if a replacement was found.
Either way, his contract will be paid through December.
Fernandez was also on Thursday’s agenda as a possible consultant to the interim, but no action was taken on that motion.
A board meeting is tentatively set for July 9 to interview other interim candidates.
