Despite expectations that federal prosecutors would amend the original indictment against Brownsville Independent School District board member Dr. Sylvia Atkinson with newer charges, a review of the amended unsealed indictment dated Jan. 24 indicates that they simply corrected the date on count three of the original document.
That count charges her with using a cell phone – a facility in interstate commerce – with intent to otherwise promote, manage, establish, carry on and facilitate the promotion, managemenT, establishment, and carrying of an unlawful activity, that being bribery of a public official in violation of the laws of the State of Texas and thereafter performed and attempted to perform in furtherance of the unlawful activity.
The original indictment filed December 10 listed December 18, 2019. The handwritten correction in the Jan. 24 unsealed indictment changes the date to December 18, 2018.
A federal grand jury charged BISD vice president Atkinson with accepting bribes and detailed at least one incident in which she is accused of soliciting $10,000 dollars from an undercover FBI agent posing as an employee of a Brownsville-based film production company, Pink Ape Media ad agency.
According to the document, Atkinson used her position as a school board official and an elected BISD Trustee to obtain money from private companies and private individuals in exchange for assistance in obtaining contracts with the district.
These included potential school district purchases of computer tablets, medical teleconferencing services, and tutorial services, according to the document.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. set Atkinson’s trial date back to April 6 in order to give both parties more time to prepare due to the nature of the prosecution and the complexity of the case.
Atkinson previously appeared for a closed hearing in the court’s chambers on Dec. 16.

Let's see if law in Brownsville means a shit. Sylvia's mother said, "Take your umbrella, cause, Sylvia, it's starting to rain."
Wearing black doesn't make her look smaller. She looks like black whale...an indicted black whale.
Ineptness every where! Typos have been known to throw cases out of court and knowing the snake of the defendant, she will probably now get out of this because of that incorrect date. Why keep pushing the date back? Hoping that people will forget and drop it? Or trying to figure out some scam or finger pointing gesture to pull everyone else down with her? Oh, maybe waiting for elections to pass to bring it to court? Bunch of corruption trickling down from Trump.
This Lesbo Hog is goin’ down...Rio Hondo ISD needs to be looked at very closely too.
She should get the Scumbag Rene Oliveira as her lawyer as he will muff dive someone to get her off. He told more lies than TRUMP to get off himself, so telling a few for Atkinson won't make no difference to him.
She's a crook just like her Brother Charlie.

At least the picture shows her "con la cola entre las patas" as she should be feeling right now. How could she have been so dumb to do what she did, even when she had such a thorough education. I guess the PHD to her name did mean piled higher and deeper and not more brains. Tan mensa, tan tonta, haber que pasa? Boy, she has really gained some weight, but I guess that is from being so idle now that she can not be meddling with BISD employees and scaring them to death.
Where are your friends now, Sylvia. Where is Prisci and Drew and your significant other? Why do they not accompany you to court? Oh, because they are directly related to the case and your bond release prohibits you from them? Where are your friends when you need them the most?
Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!
I wonder if the SPA will sing like a little birdy before this is all over.
Stop calling her Dr. Atkinson, she probably cheated her way through that as well.
Billboard, uniforms, food, bus parts, office supplies that's where the FBI needs to check. And there is a LOT more.
They should all be investiaged EVEN THE JANITOR que bailen todos...
Baby Baluga Atkinson...fatten up now, I understand the FOOD IN PRISON really sucks!
I do hope that Rio Hondo'a Smiley is shitting bricks. I wonder if he knows all that went on when SPA was in San Benito - hired to do Smilies job but stealing from right under his nose. She went after people who were aware of what she was doing until someone eagled up and got rid of her. She comes back to BISD to see who else she can chingar, and now she finds herself being in a spot she place many - shitting bricks. They better rent out the event center to hold her court trial, cause people are selling tickets to buying them like crazy to get to sit there and watch her over her pile of shitty bricks. Just make sure you don't sit next to her Mother. Let's see if her friends show up at the trial or they will be skipping town for the trial dates. I wonder if they will be making reservations for seats?
Looks like big foot
Juan, look into Sylvia Atkinson's gambling addiction. She is a very big gambler and owe's lot's of money from what we hear.This woman is the DEVIL.
We've seen it before, most elected officials are addicted to gambling and other vices and will soon be arrested by the FBI. Its very simple to find out, law agencies just look who's flying on a regular basis to Las Vegas and who they are? simple stupid
Rio Hondo Smiley has been rumored to cheat on his wife. Now, if a man would cheat on his wife (I use the word “man” loosely), would he also cheat on the school district too? This is a rhetorical question. You can run Smiley but you can’t hide. Knock knock, this is the FBI!
It's obvious that most of these anonymous posts are from Erasmo Castro. Give it up faggot, your days of luring BISD young male students came to an end. You want to blow Atkinson up to make people forget about your crimes. Just because a scared mother doesn't file charges on you for molesting her son doesn't make you innocent cabron. Your ignorant followers are blinded by your feminine traits. I bet you hate Atkinson because she bitched slapped you when you were on the board. You resigned because you were intimidated. You are the little bitch Erasmo and everyone knows it. You will never win another election. Accept that and go back to your parents church and pray!! And please don't touch any children.
Or maybe Atkinson is a horrible, leech of a human being. Maybe she is part of the underhanded sickness thats runs in Brownsville's blood. I for one (not Erasamo Castro) welcome the FBI presence in the Valley. Its apparent we need them here because we obviously havnt been cleaning up our shit on our own...there will be more...
Her co-conspirators are losing sleep. More will follow, and it cannot happen soon enough.
