NEW INTERIM SUPER HAS WORKED IN DALLAS, SAN ANTONIO

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Meet Brownsville Independent School District interim superintendent Dr. Sylvia Ann Reyna Hatton, out of the Dallas area.

The BISD board voted unanimously to hire her while they perform their nationwide search for a permanent replacement for Dr. Esperanza Zendejas, who was placed on administrative leave pending a review of her performance before deciding on a final termination.

She earned her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from UT-Austin. Her most current employment was serving as an educational consultant for the Region 13 Education Service Center in Austin.

In 2012, she left Fort Worth ISD, she worked as a top administrator at the Dallas ISD  who oversaw assistant superintendents and executive directors who managed clusters of schools. In Fort Worth, Reyna made a base salary of $160,000 and got an annual car allowance of $4,500 and an annual cell phone stipend of $720, according to the district.

Previously, Reyna worked at San Antonio's Edgewood school district.

A little McAllen experience cannot hurt. MISD is the best in RGV.

You have the wrong Sylvia Reyna. She never worked in Dallas or Fort Worth. This Sylvia was the Executive Director at Region One.

Another woman for the head job in the BISD, more problems, look at all the problems going on with women unleadership in school campuses.

WOW! I'm speechless on how fast a replacement was found. What ever happened to the national search? When is Brownsville gonna learn? Another resurrected old comadre, just like Zendejas was a few years ago.

There we go again. My previous comment was blocked. Who ordered it! It now shows exactly where it is coming from. Is this the Sylvia married to Ronnie Hatton? That was my question.

Just as an aside, she does not hold a Superintendent's certificate.

Just as an aside, you're an idiot for posting lies. Dr. Hatton has multiple certifications, including the Superintendency.

You are right; she does not hold a superintendent's certificate but they just plan to have her hear until they fanegal things to push Dr. Z out. The lady is not to blame since she was hand-picked, but I certainly hope that she doesn't get stuck in the Atkinson-Pena-Tipton-Brown spiders web. She just has to make certain that the district does not tumble and mess up all the hard work Dr. Z has done and all the improvements that have followed under her lead stay afloat. If she is leader-teacher she claims to be, she do well in what she does, but must remember that the Mexicans down here are all a bunch of crabs pulling each other down. she also needs to watch her back cause we have a lot of knifes being thrown around in BISD. I do admire her for taking the risk of emerging herself in this cess pool that does not flush the excretion sent out by envy and jealousy.

Go for it, Dr. Hatton and prove to all that you mean business. check out and let yourself be pulled down with all the micromanagement that sinks up the main office.

Starting off your comments with certification lies just proves you're a zendejas crony and an idiot like the other goofball.
