The tenure of our appointed EPISD board of managers cannot last forever.
The state law that allows the education commissioner to strip our elected board of their power (even after the voters elected some new members) only allows the appointed board of managers to operate for two years.
If my memory is correct the board of managers was appointed December 6, 2012.
That means that there are only six more months before the board of managers should be dissolved.
Not quite so fast
Texas Education Code section 39.112 defines the rules:
At the direction of the commissioner but not later than the second anniversary of the date the board of managers of a district was appointed, the board of managers shall order an election of members of the district board of trustees. The election must be held on a uniform election date on which an election of district trustees may be held under Section 41.001, Election Code, that is at least 180 days after the date the election was ordered.
Section 41.001 of the Election Code specifies the second Saturday in May of an odd numbered year. That will be May 9, 2015.
Even though the commissioner made the appointments December 6, 2012 the board of managers was not sworn in until May 7, 2013.
What will happen?
Section 39.112 specifically starts the clock on the day they were appointed. If they do the right thing and order an election for next May there should be time for political campaigns to be run.
If on the other hand they claim that they have not served their two years until May 7, 2015 we will have a problem.
We deserve better

Under no circumstance should a member of the previous board (who was in term when Garcia did this) be re-seated. It’s only too bad that we can’t say the same of CC with respect to the 2012 coup that deprived us of our vote.

Leave the board of managers in place until the previous board members terms have expired!
