Video of BISD Vote to Make Montoya Sole Candidate for Superintendent

     This was agenda item #43 to make Carlos Montoya the sole candidate for superintendent.  The application window was open only one day to insure Montoya was the only candidate.  This vote certifies that.  Trustees Pena, Aquilar and Colunga seem initially troubled by the process, not so much the candidate.  District rules call for a 10 day applicant window. 
     The vote was initially a 3-3 deadlock which must be with someone abstaining.  After Enrique Escobedo expressed disappointment with the vote, Joe Colunga changed his vote.  Presas-Garcia then announced the vote as 5-2, obviously including the original abstention.  Presas-Garcia then proceeds with an admonition as to what she expects from Montoya, once officially installed.

    Montoya doesn't vote. Only the seven board members.

  2. "Montoya doesn't vote. Only the seven board members."

    That's right. So, in order for there to have been an initial deadlock, there must have been an abstention. So, it was 3-3, Colunga changed his vote. That made it 4-2, but Presas-Garcia announced it as 5-2.
