Ysleta ISD trustees sworn in after unopposed races; Charlie Bustillos elected board president
Summary
Trustees who ran unopposed were declared elected and sworn in at the Ysleta Independent School District meeting on May 14; the board then elected Charlie Bustillos president, Mike Dwyer vice president and Connie Woodruff secretary in a 7-0 vote.
Seven trustees who ran unopposed were declared elected and sworn into office at the Ysleta Independent School District Board of Trustees meeting on May 14, and the board elected new officers in a unanimous vote.
The board reconvened after the swearing-in ceremony that followed a March 19 cancellation of the May 3 election for single-member districts 1, 3, 5 and 7 because all candidates ran unopposed. County Judge Ricardo Samaniego administered several of the oaths during the ceremony.
The swearing-in and brief remarks recognized trustees Shane Haggerty, Carlos Bustillos, Catherine Lucero, Cruz A. Ochoa Jr., Charlie Bustillos, Mike Dwyer and Connie Woodruff. After the ceremony, President Cruz Ochoa moved to elect Charlie Bustillos as board president, Mike Dwyer as vice president and Connie Woodruff as secretary; Trustee Catherine Lucero seconded the motion. The board cast electronic votes and approved the slate 7-0.
The board also called a special meeting of the Ysleta ISD Public Facility Corporation and unanimously approved appointing the same officers to serve on the PFC board. That vote was made by motion of Trustee Woodruff, seconded by Trustee Lucero, and passed 7-0.
Trustees and the superintendent offered short remarks of thanks and recognition to supporters and staff after the ceremony. The board recessed for photographs and then returned to take up regular agenda items.
No budget or policy decisions were made as part of the swearing-in itself; the officer elections will take effect at the next regular meeting, per board operating procedures.
The meeting later moved to routine consent items and then to substantive agenda items, including a budget workshop and closed-session discussions on an intruder detection audit and potential property sales.
