Although Dr. Andrea Cruz was approved by the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District to lead administrative services last month, a board member wasn’t sure who was heading the department at a recent school board meeting.
At a policy committee meeting Feb. 6, SBCISD Secretary M. L. Garcia told Superintendent of Schools Dr. Nate Carman that she knew who the assistant superintendent of academic services (Hector Madrigal) and assistant superintendent of finance and operations (Hilda Rendon) were, but she didn’t know who the superintendent of administrative services was.
“That’s Dr. Cruz who we just hired,” Carman said. “She starts next Monday (Feb. 11).” Cruz was not present at that meeting
According to district officials, Cruz’s annual salary will be $113,587.60, and her contract is for two years (2018-2019 and 2019-2020). Cruz’s pro-rated salary for the remainder of the 2018-2019 school year (93 days) is $46,741.80.

Well…. Isn’t that ….. When school board members don’t know who know runs the school district?… Uhh note to future board members.. when u are appointed/elected whatever…make sure you personally introduce yourself to the people who work for the students of this town. There’s plenty of opportunities… Beginning of year convocation, end of school year “celebrations”, Christmas breakfast/luncheon… and of course throughout the whole year..duh..SMH..
