Various law enforcement sources have confirmed that Brownsville Independent School District board member Dr. Sylvia Atkinson was arrested at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday after a joint investigation by the Cameron County District Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Sources say the FBI arrested Atkinson at her Texas Southmost College office where she works as the P-16 Educational Administrator.
Although details of the charges against her cannot be confirmed, sources say they involve bribery of unknown persons, possibly vendors to the the Rio Hondo School District in 2014 until alleged bribery during her current tenure at BISD. A sealed indictment is said to contain a total of eight counts involving conspiracy and bribery concerning federal funds.
Sources say that the BISD administration was aware of her arrest. She did not attend today's board meeting.

😂😂😂 I wish I could feel disappointed in the shit people elected to the board but she’s such a bitch I just feel happy because karma finally caught up to her cunty ass. Who wasn’t expecting this tho???
Just another day at the Bribery Trough. Is she related to Abel Limas, by any chance? Sad.
Will her brother Charlie Atkinson now run for her seat? Plus, hey, is his coaching job with BISD about to go to someone else? Inquiring minds want to know, bro.
If she has any integrity she would immediately step down and resign. And if not the other board members should immediately initiate removal. Well just have to wait and see what the other board members will do
Couldn't have happened to a nicer person! I'm being sarcastic!
President of TSC will do nothing, Atkinson needs to be suspended! Where's Adela Garza?
Only thing I see wrong here is that the FBI had Saenz involved.
Didn't she endorsed the mayor?
Birds of a feather flock together is a proverb that goes back hundreds of years. ... Birds of a feather flock together means people of similar interests, background, ideas or characteristics will often congregate or hang out with each other, people who have similar ideas or values tend to stick together.
Endorse the mayor,Shit, Sylvia Atkinson hand picked Trey to run !
Dr.Atkinson used all her power she had with TSC and BISD to make sure every student that could vote , voted for Trey. It wasn't only the young students being played by Dr. Atkinson all the downtown hipsters,the "know it all" adults who think they know their candidates, were all sheep to the Mendez Scam. How many times did we hear that Trey was the change Brownsville needed?The truth is Trey Mendez was the front man for one of greediest , power hungry elected officials EVER !
Thank you FBI for coming in and putting a stop to the TREYmendous SCAM that Sylvia was going to cash in with her boy toy.

It is about time they caught her. Let her rot in jail and make her life miserable like she made it for so employees at BISD. Now just watch she get away with it and come out smelling like a rose. She is Brownsville's Trump.

Are you that dense that you use a “proverb” and then have to explain it? Or do you just think that you are superior to everyone else that you feel the need to explain a juvenile aphorism? She endorsed shit-tons of candidates. It would be interesting to know how far the money trail runs…
When posting where there seems to be a lot of teachers posting, you have to explain a juvenile aphorism and you seem like the perfect reason why. Shit-tons - must be a teacher with a red ass you want me to explain that one to or too.
This stuff has been standard operating procedure for our elected officials for so long, they don't even consider that one day that may get caught and spend years in a Federal Pen.
The truly sad thing is the taxpayers and citizens are denied honest government.
Al a moe chicken go
When will people wake up! Corruption is not just a Brownsville issue, it's a national issue also. When will the American people wake up? Both sides (Democratic and Republican) are guilty of misleading the American people. When will the media of the United States get their act together and start reporting in a un-bias manor. Through untold decades both political parties, FBI, CIA and other agencies have deceived the public and did what they think appropriate under the guise of being "Patriots".
Look at the latest reporting on Afghanistan. Three administrations have not been honest with the American public. I for one will continue to speak out on all corruption.
Please enlighten me… Use your sage wisdom and make me understand the world as you see it. Yeah, I used shit-ton because I don’t believe that I need to use a proverb, or perhaps an adage such as you and then talk down to others. It’s understandable, especially to those who have inferiority complexes such as yourself. Hope this is better, she backed countless, numerous, various, voluminous, masses, innumerable, numerous, candidates… Fuck off.

Typical educator, teaching only hot air with a small town attitude and with a Hollywood personality, impressing NOBODY, must be looking into a mirror with a thesaurus book in hand.
The feeling of not measuring up seems to be haunting you to no ends and you need to own up to your mentally illness and don't reacted with disbelief.
Poor students.
Oh by the way (MEMORY PROBLEMS?) YOU FUK OFF
El84 - she doesn't like Boy Toys! She plays with girl toys!
Congratulations maggots like throwing a piece of meat into a river full of piranhas.
Plenty of LESBIANS in prison; she will feel right at home!!!
"Coach" Rodriguez must have been tipped off and that's the reason he resigned and did not run again. Coach's cousin golfs with the local federal judge (i.e., close contacts). And a partner of the cousin is married to a leading FBI agent here in Brnsv. Cozi! It's nice to have friends, huh, Coach?
Who paid for the flowers? You want flowers pay from you pockets BOLA DE MAMONES
