(After two years in the role, Brownsville ISD Superintendent Dr. Jesus Chavez announced he is retiring. Chavez made the announcement during a February school board meeting. He said he will finish out his contract — which ends in June 2026 — before retiring. A majority of the board at that meeting voted to approve his retirement then.)
Special to El Rrun-Rrun
XII.E.1. Discussion and consideration regarding the Superintendent’s contract, including placing the Superintendent on administrative leave, suspension, or termination of contract. Discussion and consideration on naming an Interim Superintendent. (Board Agenda Request Carlos Elizondo/Board Support Minerva Pena)
This past February Brownsville Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Jesus Chavez announced – and a board majority accepted – his retirement effective June 30.
That acceptance, however, is now under challenge with two agenda items, to be heard in executive session, that Chavez be terminated immediately and an interim superintendent be appointed in his place.
The agenda items for Chavez's removal to be considered come as the BISD Board of Trustees had already begun the vetting process to select the next superintendent. The two trustees requesting the agenda item are Carlos Elizondo supported by Minerva Peña.

Elizondo and Peña are usually joined by trustee Frank Ortiz. Sources say that board members Denise Garza and Neida Ruth Soto-Grantland are "on the fence."
So far, neither Elizondo nor Peña have made public their choice for Chavez interim replacement.

BISD and TSC need to be strong and focused if they are going to be able to keep up with what is coming at the Port and the city. BISD is losing money and has lost credibility …….what was once a beacon of strength and an award winning school district is now a model of how far an organization can fall under years of bad management and political hires. What we have witnessed is a painful and slow dismantling of a what once was a winning district. But hey, we have soccer and a very expensive Sam's Stadium and turfed fields.
Let’s be real Montoya, we all know what went down in that meeting. Denise flipped on Daniela joining La Rata Pelona and Not so Minnie. He didn’t want to “retire” he was forced into it. It was a shocker Denise flipped! What was not a shocker were her poor pole numbers at her attempt at county clerk, you wonder why? She lost all her support after that poor decision she made.
"La Rata Pelona" Carlos Elizonda's only purpose of being on the board is - what's in it for me!!! He is a cunning, underhanded, low-life criminal who has been caught multiple times in theft. Remember, he stole money from the Brownsville Fire Department Local 970 union, stole money from the city by redirecting ambulance calls to his part-owner ambulance company, stole building material from a builder that was working for him, stole a wheelchair from a local hospital, and had numerous sexual affairs with women while on duty as a firefighter. As a result of theft from the Firefighter's Union, he was fired as Fire Chief and has been arrested multiple times, and the list goes-on-and-on.....And, now his little dick is being sucked by clueless Minerva and panochita Frank Ortiz. The ones that need to be removed are these dirtbag clowns.
Juan or any BISD, TSC, Matamoros citizen, please answer this important question? Was Prisci Roca Tipton married to a Browsville Tipton and then divorced? Was her 1st EX, a White Guy, Mexican or Black Guy? Why? Well she married husband #2 and does not drop the ex "Tipton" last name. Que she owns Tipton Ford, but her son is not white, bien moreno. So she is full of it and wants to be Port Commissioner? No way, She was also BISD Board Member who still remains bff to BISD Felon Sylvia Atkinson.
Only in Brownsville would anyone vote in AGAIN a person with a bad record and reputation.
We can't wait until the next election to DUMP you crooks either
Everyone is attacking each other- what they should be attacking are the enrollment numbers …and the fact that he is leaving. What you do this summer determines if I move my kid back to private school or stay on the public school path. Uncertainty and ugly buildings—-doesn’t help any business. We’ve invested too much at Sams already—- students still leave. Clean up your SCHOOLS! Run the district like a business..use the numbers to make your decisions.
"La Rata Pelona" 😝😆 what a fitting nickname. Just how low do you have to be to be stealing wheelchairs
Well you keep voting the same people into the same positions time and time again. So don't bitch when decisions are done and you don't like them. find a new candidate or run yourself!
Wow, you really know Carlos, but can you prove it is another story. NO proof, no conviction on anything so you got nothing just personal bitching.
She switched? Hmmm didn’t notice nor did it impact my vote . She ran against a machine and did great considering it was her first county election. I’m proud of her courage to get in there …..
Wow - proof? Of not is he a fool or does he have the courage to demand more? Hmmm we may never know
Name calling is a wonderful way to distract people from the real issues - bad apending - political spending - bad hires - declining enrollment- overspending
No kidding, but it’s hard to tell which crooks….with no audit.
Actually my candidates all lost…..
Jesus Chavez came as an interim to help BISD. Then a search was done. Then Jesus Chavez was chosen. BISD was happy. What went wrong?
La Rata Pelona, his Rata Vieja, y Ratitas are horrible and ugly people. People know the kind of scum in society that they are.
Abbott and Texas Republicans did a great job at destroying public schools, Hospitals are next.
I do agree she ran a clean campaign but the result didn’t come to fruition. The point of a campaign is to win it not to get a participation award. She’s a great person and does well for the BISD, we support her. In the end she tried to align herself with the wrong by people and the voters didn’t not align themselves with those candidates. Best of luck to her and her bright future.
La Rata Pelona me dijo Que hay viene Victor Caballero otra ves. Chingado, otro bruto. Ya perdio dos veces. Ya guey, Ya, la gente no te quiere. Mejor Guarda tu dinero.
Always blaming sombody else, when the problem lies right here.
You do see that the same family that is running the Cameron County is running the Brownsville School District. That family has to please stay of out politics and stop running to enrich themselves.
BISD is really falling apart. The Maintenance guy on leave for fraud and affair. Then another Administrator put on leave for causing the BISD to loose millions in state funding. Then the other Admins like JJ Botox De Leon, Alejandra Aldrete all running campaigns from BISD. Another one hosting her bs book tour from BISD. No one works at main office. The new CFO lunching at the Vermillion.

That's a factor as well, I'm not discrediting your argument. But how many ISD's in Texas is this happening to? All of them minus one or two ISD's in Texas? Is TEA planning to take over every ISD and fund Daycare as Trump said? LOL
Nah, Republican Conservative Ideas suck, look at what's happening to the education system in Texas, it might get nuked by Iran. LOL No more wars, low gas and food prices, energy independent, and deport everyone Mexican looking. Just horrible nation destroying policies.
This quarrelling among politicians here is not unique, this is going on in every ISD in Texas.
Aldrete is running her campaign from her office, I can hear it through the walls. I think they should be working, no?

You talk to la Rata Pelona and you come to El Rrun Rrun and call him la Rata Pelona. It serves him right after recording Cesar.
It is sad but true. A lot of people in Brownsville progressed because they got a public education.
Confront the bitch> the other fly.
So BISD is full of part-time Administrators? Aldrete spends her day all over BTX promoting herself. JJ De Leon is managing his side businesses from bisd. From Botox Spa Parties, looking for providers, raffles, chicken plates.
If so that is wrong…however, this is not why BISD is in bad shape. Sounds more like a political oponent.
Wow. So you dipshits want to get rid of Brain Tumor guy Chavez (apologies) before his contract runs out in 3 months? Standard Bullshit ISD procedure: we pay 2 supers at the same time. You cannot breach his contract. Who are you hooking up? Beatriz Hdz? The most lacking-ass people-skills person in Brownsville? Or maybe rose Longoria, who likes the young dick. Either way, all of you are going to face karma. The board atty Salinas, buck tooth bitch will go the way of Balthazar. I imagine they both got law degrees from a Cracker Jack box. Yet, the board is so stupid they treat them as if they’re royalty.🤔 I wonder when the Bisd pink slips will come? My GF got laid off from Austin… she was able to get a job elsewhere. The rest of the fools, I am not sure. By the way, FU “esmy”. You know who I am.
-Chells🖕🏻
Keep listening to the local Republican pendejos who don't know what the fuck they're talking about. This quarrelling is happening in every ISD in Texas.
On one side you have people who care about their community and are overwhelmed because they're underfunded. Fuck you Abbott and Texas Republicans.
The other side are the Malinches and Cocos, that have contempt for their own Latino people (Hispanic people from the valley). These are the vendidos that oversaw the encomiendas, these are the Mischlinge Kapos, your House Negroes. Omaha Omaha!
It’s called being a double-agent. Robinhood for the people, if you will.

Wow, you really know Carlos, but can you prove it is another story. NO proof, no conviction on anything so you got nothing just personal bitching.
Wow, your truly sucking his dick, La Rata Pelona supporter/kiss ass!!! You know it's true, it is on local news media, police reports, social media, ask BFD Union 970, City of Brownsville Employee separation; Fact "Fired Brownsville Fire Chief, "La Rata Pelona" Carlos ElizondA for thief!!! Need more...look deeper into his past, it continues to repeat itself!!! Dumber doesn't get smarter; it just repeats its mistakes over and over and over, hoping for a different outcome. But, then again, time will repeat itself...FBI will. Missappropriation of federal funding and public turst will take it avenue of judicial application as deemed for criminals .
Carlos Elizondo is a thief! He has no respect for authority or women. His wife is a wannabe socialite. He’s always up to no good.
