Carl Montoya Was Never the Right Man for the BISD Job

From the editor:  As Carl Montoya moves on to Judson, just north of San Antonio, we're reminded that he was never the right hire in the first place.  As an interim superintendent, who demonstrated his willingness to do the bidding of Cata Presas-Garcia, Luci Longoria, Enrique Escobedo and Christina Saavedra,  the majority foursome shut down the "national search" after just 24 hours.  They had found a "fit."

Montoya was also a shill for "United Brownsville," the shadowy, self-appointed board, trying to control the flow of economic development in Cameron County.

Here is what we wrote about Montoya in November 2011:



" I learned all I need to know about Carl Montoya as superintendent in his first few hours on the job when he suspended the Chief Financial Officer,

Tony Fuller, before drinking his first cup of coffee. A thoughtful, careful, discerning leader just assuming oversight does not make a huge personnel decision in his first hours of taking office. He owes his constituents, his staff and his peers more than that. Initially he probes, he questions, he carefully evaluates the needs of the district. He comes up with an evaluation, his evaluation, not someone elses. Even if he decides a change is needed, he still waits until he has carefully evaluated a replacement. Only then does he act.


By making two important personnel moves in the first 48 hours of his new position, Montoya proved that he was not his own man. He was simply following orders. Perhaps, that is why, even before the last board meeting, Presas-Garcia declared Montoya a good "fit" for the job. That's exactly what Montoya is. He fits perfectly into the plans of those who want to control the district. Do you really think that a district with a $500,000,000 annual budget does not deserve a careful nationwide or even statewide search for a superintendent? The board majority does not. They already have a "fit".'

  5. EZ's MO is give bus drivers and clerical staff a raise, then put her boot on the neck of teachers then wait it out for her buyout. This is what little Sylvia, wants to do but has not perfected the right moves like EZ.
