Were it not for the vote of one Brownsville Independent School District trustee, former BISD principal Dora Sauceda, who had to resign from the Dallas Independent School District after an audit uncovered a suspect invoice for $4,083 in unauthorized moving expenses might have been an administrator in the grants department.
But before you go clapping for the courageous and plucky public representative, let's say he did it as a favor to his comadre, and not necessarily to look out for the district.
The minutes of the BISD meeting Tuesday will show that trustee Jose Hector Chirinos joined the maligned minority of Christina Saavedra, Lucy Longoria, and Catalilna Presas-Garcia to reject the administration's recommendation they hire Sauceda, whose husband Frank is the brother of former BISD superintendent Noe Sauceda, now a university instructor at UT PanAm in Edinburg.Chirinos, the former director of Transportation, interim principal at Veterans High School, and then jack-of-all trades at the main district office, apparently had an ax to grind with Sauceda about the way he treated his comadre's two daughters, now retired-Rachel Ayala. The slight apparently took place while Sauceda was a principal at a local school. One of the two women sh allegedly mistreated is his goddaughter, and he never forgot that slight.
In not voting to hire Sauceda, Chirinos was complying with the bonds of compadrismo that require you look out for your ahijada whenever someone does her a wrong. And so Sauceda, whose cause was championed by trustee Minerva Peña, failed to meet the grade.
And on such a slim hook did the district come so close to hiring Sauceda whose attempt to foist a bogus moving invoice made to a nonexistent moving company in Brownsville that was housed at as home owned by her husband and brother-in-law upon the DISD forced her to resign her position there.
Coincidentally, once Chirinos was elected in the BISD elections November, both women miraculously received promotions to be district administrators. God works, also coincidentally, in mysterious ways.
Did culture, in a warped kind of way, rescue BISD?

WAY TO GO BOARD....FOR KEEPING A THIEF OUT OF THE DISTRICT...WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE PREYED ON SCHOOL MONEYS TOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
The last year she was a principal here she was seldom on campus. BISD doesnt need her back.
WOW! How fast CHIRINOS forgets that BISD also called him a possible thief while at Transportation Department. How Quickly Mr. Chirinos forgot how he was forced to retire to save face from the Audit's accusations and possible termination because of that Audit. Look it up on-line. It is all Public record. Go Chirinos Go!
Question Brownsville? Why do you keep electing former BISD employees who only run for office for payback to the district? Anyone?
Interesting. A "thief" on the board keeps another "thief" from getting hired. I Chirinos doesn't want competition.
Keep your stories straight. In your earlier post on Sauceda, you condemned the board for even considering rehiring her after the way she tried to con Dallas ISD. In this story you are now saying she wasn't hired because of a hidden agenda? Wow. So I guess you only write half-truths?
Post "May 23, 2013 at 3:19 PM". LMAO
Chirinos el Chapusero?
There is still the rumor that Chirr inos won because Enrique was in charge of the re-count.
Is it true that people in the BISD hallway could hear Enrique counting 2 for Chirrones, one for Gil, 5 for Chapusero Chirrones, and 3 for Gil, 7 with no Judge Signature nor judge stamp for Chirrinos, and 2 for Gil.
No wonder Chapusero Chirinos won??
approve her to at least go back to the classroom... science teacher anyone??
I believe the two women in question were already administrators. Why don't you get their service records? It's public information instead of writing lies.
