San Eli ISD - I Can't Believe This is Legal
You know when you play a role in the birth of a city, you really care about what happens to the community. You aren't going to believe this one, but its true.
The spouse of a current board member is challenging another board member for their seat on the San Elizario School Board.
Berenice Barragan is challenging Armando Martinez for his seat on the SEISD. Barragan is married to Joe Rodriguez, a current board member. I've spent the last couple of hours searching around the internet and can't anything that would make this illegal. It is apparently legit.
Maybe its a valley thing because in Clint, the mayor is Dale Reinhardt and his wife is also on city council. She used to be Willie Gandara's teacher and she chewed my ass one day at a community meeting because she really likes Willie. Not sure why she blamed me but Willie's problems got nutin' to do with me lady.
Anywho, back to San Eli, community members are concerned about having a husband and wife duo on the board together. They are concerned that it just gives Rodriguez another vote on the board.
If you are wondering why Barragan has a different last name than her husband, relax. She's always used Barragan, they weren't trying to hide the fact that they are spouses. Its San Elizario, trust me everyone knows who is married.
This is why we have school board elections. So that the community can pick their leadership. They have to decide if they think its a wise course of action to have spouses both serve on the board at the same time.
