Presas-Garcia Finds Carlos Montoya "Fit" for the Superintendent Job

Presas-Garcia Finds Carlos Montoya "Fit" for the Superintendent Job

by Jim Barton on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 8:23pm

     Indications are that the Brownsville Independent School District Board will name Carlos Montoya as the sole candidate for the permanent position of Superintendent of Schools at the 11/15/11 board meeting.   In an interview board President Catalina Presas-Garcia stopped just short of that, but declared Montoya "fit for the job."

     What Montoya appears to be "fit" for is being a willing tool for a corrupt, power-hungry board. Montoya's first few days as interim superintendent made it clear he does not make decisions, he simply carries them out. Consider this: On the first day of his interim stewardship of the super's office, actually in the first hours, before he had set the lumbar support for his high-back office chair, before he knew where the coffeemaker was, he suspended Chief Financial Officer of the district. Tony Fuller. Does that sound like a carefully weighed decision by a thoughtful administrator or hasty move by a lackey simply following orders. Is it not obvious Montoya was pre-briefed and TOLD what to do? He had no time to interview Fuller, let alone evaluate him.

     Add to this a herky-jerky move Montoya made on his third day in the interim position: He replaced 15 year veteran Susan Fox with Sylvia Atkinson as Human Resources Director. Many feel both of these decisions were orchestrated, not only by Catalina Presas-Garcia, but also by her comrade in arms, convicted racketeer Carlos Quintanilla. No wonder Presas-Garcia declared Montoya "fit" for the job.

Here's the link to the original story, including a video with Presas-Garcia:

    Let's see now, Quintanilla, Lucio (2), Villalobos, Erin Garcia, Cheezmeh, Presas-Garcia, Longoria, Atkinson (2) and now Montoya. I'm sure I left out some other politician and successful individual. You are starting to sound much like another blogger who hates everyone who does not do his bidding or agrees with his philosophy. I can understand this other blogger's hatred due to his failure as a human being, what's your excuse?

    It's not a matter of being republican or democrat, it's a matter of being clean and dirty. Neither party can claim to be clean, both have their dirt. The INDIVIDUALS with their actions show their "true colors." Presas will suffer the same fate as her predecesors.

    lol Yes, you forgot Abel Limas, Conrado Cantu, Ernie Hernandez, Gilberto Hinojosa, Jacob Hiltz, etc. It's just that personal enrichment seems to be the goal of so many officials here. You may be content with the status quo. Many of us are not.

    It's not envy I feel for those going into public office for personal enrichment, but disdain. Then, there are those who cowardly refuse to do the job they're elected to do, like Villalobos, because of the political implications. It's a mess.

    Wow. I am sure it will be interesting and will hopefully send the board members involved into hiding.
