Trustee says "the district is a team of eight," urges better superintendent-board communication
Summary
During public comment at the Jan. 9, 2025 special Santa Rosa ISD meeting, Trustee Rene Flores urged improved communication between the board and the superintendent and said the district should "make Santa Rosa shine again."
During the public comment portion of the Santa Rosa Independent School District special meeting on Jan. 9, 2025, Trustee Rene Flores urged the board to strengthen its communication with the superintendent and to focus on improving the district's standing. "The district is a team of eight," Flores said, and he added that "we need to make Santa Rosa shine again." The board's public comment procedures were reiterated in the meeting notice and governed by Board Policy BED(local), which limits each speaker to three minutes and specifies that the board does not deliberate during public comment.
Flores framed his remarks around internal communication and pride in students, saying the school "operates under the Superintendent" and noting the district's students as a positive. The meeting record shows no board response during public comment; the board then adjourned to executive session to consult with legal counsel on matters including the superintendent's contract.
