Medina Valley ISD board hires two elementary leaders

The Medina Valley Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on July 15 to hire Sandy Bermea as Executive Director of Elementary Schools and Kristin Rodriguez as Director of Elementary Curriculum, following superintendent recommendations.

Trustee Matt Castiglione moved and Trustee Joe Biediger seconded the motion to approve the superintendent’s recommendation for the Executive Director of Elementary Schools; all board members present voted in favor and the motion passed, and Sandy Bermea was hired. The board took a separate motion to approve the superintendent’s recommendation for the Director of Elementary Curriculum; Castiglione moved, Biediger seconded, and the motion passed with the same unanimous vote among those present, and Kristin Rodriguez was hired.

The minutes record that the hires were based on the superintendent’s recommendations; the superintendent’s name and any employment terms (salary, start date, contract length) are not specified in the posted unofficial minutes. Trustee Ben Juarez was recorded as absent for the meeting. The board held these personnel votes after reconvening from a closed session that had been called under Texas Government Code Sections 551.071, 551.074 and 551.0821.

The hires place two new leaders in roles overseeing elementary schools and elementary curriculum in Medina Valley ISD. The minutes do not list additional implementation details such as effective hire dates or transition plans.
