SAN BENE ISD BOARD USING DOUBLE STANDARD ON SUPER

By Tomas Montemayor
San Benito Resident
Dear Editor,

When former San Benito Independent School District Superintendent Nate Carman left the district, it took almost a month before the Public Information Dept. took his picture off the district website and replaced him with his successor Supt. Teresa Servellon's picture. 

But in her case, almost the day after placing her on paid administrative leave, this same dept. removed her picture from the web site. Why the difference? At this point she is under investigation. 

She has not been found guilty of any wrong doing, yet the board and its puppets have already condemned her and as part of the punishment phase of her yet-to-be-held hearing, her picture is removed as part of the punishment.

And what did she do that was so horrible? 

Did she use her credit card and keep district travel points for herself like Dr. Carman did according to information found in the Forensic Audit report? Or did she fire older female employees who filed and won against her at the 13th Court of Appeals like Dr. Carman did? Maybe she didn't follow the procurement rules and hired unqualified project managers and contractors like Dr. Carman's old board headed by President Orlando Lopez did, also found in the Forensic Audit report?

No, she didn't do any of those things. Instead her "crime" was that, upon realizing that the new majority headed by Orlando Lopez was not following board policies and doing things that were not in good/legal practice, and after bringing these issues to the attention of the board who continued to do them, she had no recourse but to notify her bosses at Texas Education Agency (TEA) in order to keep the district safe and out of trouble.

Rudy Corona, one of the majority board members, told my wife that Servellon "reported the board to TEA for policy infractions." It seems the board, headed by Orlando Lopez and members Rudy Corona, Ariel Cruz and Alex Reyna, even though they were supposedly breaking their own policies, were not willing to listen to reason when Supt. Servellon brought up each questionable issue.

Didn't Dr. Carman constantly resort to threatening to report the board to TEA for trying to micromanage him when he didn't have the majority under President Ramiro Moreno? Now the shoe's on the other foot. It was OK then but not now?

Isn't reporting a law violation by your employer the U.S. Government's definition of Whistle blowing? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. I guess this board failed government class their senior year in high school.

killers of the flower moon,
The Osage Indian murders were a series of murders of Osage Native Americans in Osage County, Oklahoma, during the 1910s–1930s. Newspapers described the increasing number of unsolved murders as the Reign of Terror, lasting from 1921 to 1926. Some sixty or more wealthy, full-blood Osage Indians were reported killed from 1918 to 1931.[1] Newer investigations indicate that other suspicious deaths during this time could have been misreported or covered up murders, including people who were heirs to future fortunes. Further research has shown that the death toll may have been in the hundreds.

All because there was oil underground. Greed!! When I heard this podcast I was reminded of all the misdeeds our local government has committed and continue to. With out the murders of course. From congress to judges to law enforcement. It was fucked up bro. Thanks Juan.

Harlinchon a white city, next to sanbene, a meskin city, wants to built a wall to keep the illegals from sanbene to migrate to Harlinchon. Trumputo will hold a big big rally in harlinchon next week, before he reports to a federal prison.

A big big parade is planned ending with a big really big rally at that chicken coop stadium.

A cup of chicken feed is the entry fee to go in.

No matter how much I search for good in SB in general (school/city) I can't seem to find that good. City and school are both run by persons who thrive on power. Keep in mind, you are a big fish in a TINY pond. Remain in SB, cause for you to leave, you would lose identity.

High school football is the sole source of pride in san benito. Winning or sharing a district title is not a state championship. Let's face it, almost every team makes the playoffs.

Brownsville is way dirtier.

Thank you for posting about San Benito. It is good to know what is happening in our neighboring communities.

If the Superintendent reported the board to TEA for valid reasons good for her. Being that she is female it must be difficult to work with all those males. My experience as a female who has at times work with males in male dominated fields has been that if there is a problem and I come up with a solution and then share the solution I came up with my solution is ignored. A couple of days will pass by and then the solution I came up with is brought up and used but I get no credit and the men behave like as if they are geniuses for solving the problem. I have learned to manipulate situations by having men believe and think that they thought of things all on there own. Most men detest rational, smart, educated go getting women. Son machistas.

This educated woman probably has that problem. "La vieja esta loca ignora la" is what they say .

Ma’am keep your head up and do your job. I was looking at a video Susan R. Posted of eddie Trevino and this constable, the smugness and arrogance of this guy really got to to me. So I can only imagine what you go though. My mother was a single woman and all of her work ethics I witnessed. Your kids will see all of your struggles but you must push on, they absorb everything. I went through my struggles and was able to take care of my mother. Once we have kids it’s all about the next generation. My best friend she is a case manager for a federal court so you can imagine the shit she goes through we have plenty of conversations. She’s tough as nails but knows how to turn it off once she gets home.

The motorized wheel chair texas governor wants to use sanbene as a warehouse to store the red balloons and barb wire. The "no sabo" citizens of sanbene all agree but they want to keep the water tower and to be moved close to el rio. The wheel chair texas governor has agreed to move the big tamale tank closer to el rio. Freddy Guardabarros will be the feature singer when sanbene turn on the burners to the big tamale tank.
