United ISD appoints Rosanna Arisola as John B. Alexander High School principal amid mixed board input
Summary
The board approved Superintendent Dr. Cruz’s recommendation to appoint Rosanna Arisola as principal of John B. Alexander High School; the motion passed with three trustees opposed.
United Independent School District trustees voted on Jan. 22 to appoint Rosanna Arisola as principal of John B. Alexander High School, accepting the superintendent’s recommendation.
Superintendent Dr. Cruz presented Rosanna Arisola as the recommended candidate. Trustees moved and seconded the recommendation; after a brief public and trustee discussion about the selection process and community input, the motion passed. The board recorded three votes against the appointment; the rest voted in favor.
Trustees who spoke during the discussion said the decision was difficult because the board received substantial input from parents and staff at the campus. One trustee explicitly said their vote reflected concerns submitted by parents and staff; other trustees noted the candidate pool contained “very highly qualified candidates.” The board president congratulated Rosanna Arisola after the motion passed.
Ending: Arisola’s appointment became effective immediately following the vote. The board did not provide detailed vote-by-name on the record during the open session; the meeting minutes will record the formal outcome.
