The LAREDO ISD Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to hire Roberto Gonzales III for a professional accountant position at a special call meeting on April 23, 2024.
Dr. Rios told trustees, "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to recommend Mister Roberto Gonzales the 3rd," and the board moved to approve the recommendation. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the presiding officer announced the motion passed.
The hiring vote followed a closed executive session called earlier in the meeting. The presiding officer announced on reconvening that "no action was taken in any of the items," indicating the board held private deliberations but did not formalize decisions during the closed session.
Trustees conducted a roll call at the start of the meeting; named trustees present in the transcript include Juan Ramirez Jr., Rodolfo Morales III, Veronica Villarduno, Goyo M. Lopez, Ricardo Garza, Dr. Gilberto Martinez Jr., and Monica Garcia. The transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies by individual name for the hiring motion beyond voice assent.
The meeting also included brief district announcements from Dr. Rios listing several upcoming school events: Martin High School scholarship night on Wednesday, April 24 at 6 p.m. in the Flores Gym; Garcia Early College scholarship night on Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m.; Champions award ceremonies on Friday, April 26 (the transcript lists both 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. for different items); the LISD ROTC Military Ball on Friday, April 26 at 6 p.m.; and additional scholarship nights and testing dates through early May. Dr. Rios said a special call meeting is planned for Monday, April 29 at 5:15 p.m., followed by a budget workshop at 5:30 p.m.
The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. in the Amber Urie Board Room at 24100 San Bernardo in Laredo and adjourned after the trustees approved a motion to adjourn.
Next procedural steps noted by the board: the newly approved hire will be processed administratively; the board scheduled the special call meeting and budget workshop for April 29, and the district’s testing window is to be completed by May 6, per the announcements recorded at the meeting.
