Summary
On Aug. 20 the Mercedes ISD Board of Trustees voted to keep Marcos J. Garcia IV as board president and to censure a board member after a self-evaluation; the board also completed multiple officer elections and administrative approvals during the meeting.
Marcos J. Garcia IV was re-elected president of the Mercedes Independent School District Board of Trustees during the board's Aug. 20 regular meeting, and trustees later approved a censure motion following a board self-evaluation.
Trustee Oscar Hernandez nominated Garcia to remain president; the board closed nominations and voted 6–1, with Trustee Nancy E. Vallejo recorded in opposition. Orlando Rodriguez was elected vice president and Lucy Delgado was elected secretary after the board followed the same nomination and voting process for those roles. The reorganizations were recorded by the board as procedural governance actions carried out early in the meeting.
