DISTRICT UPDATE Dear La Joya ISD Family, La Joya ISD received notification that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) conducted a thorough evaluation of our district's governance practices and has recommended that our Board of Trustees be replaced with a state-appointed Board of Managers. In an effort to remain transparent, I want to provide you with the necessary information. The TEA's recommendation is based on concerns related to former district employees and the governance practices of the previous board, which did not align with our district's vision of providing educational excellence to our community. We recognize the importance of effective governance in ensuring all success and well-being of our students and the entire school community. I want to emphasize that this decision was not influenced by our district's academic performance. Rest assured, La Joya ISD remains committed to delivering educational excellence to each and every one of our students and we will continue to make administrative decisions with that focus in mind. I want to reassure you that our schools will continue to operate smoothly and without interruption. Our dedicated educators and staff remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to providing our students with the quality education they deserve. Our district will remain STUDENT FOCUSED, DATA DRIVEN, and RESULTS ORIENTED! Respectfully, Heriberto D. Gonzalez Interim Superintendent of Schools La Joya ISD ***************************** ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL DISTRITO 9 de mayo del 2023 Estimada Familia de La Joya ISD, La Joya ISD recibió una notificación de la Agencia de Educación de Texas (TEA) en la que se llevó a cabo una exhaustiva evaluación de las prácticas de gobernabilidad de nuestro distrito y se recomendó reemplazar a nuestra Mesa Directiva por una Junta de Administradores designada por el estado. Con el fin de mantener la transparencia, quiero brindarles la información necesaria. La recomendación de la Agencia de Educación se basa en preocupaciones relacionadas al comportamiento de antiguos empleados del distrito y debido a prácticas de liderazgo de ex-miembros de la mesa directiva, las cuales no se alineaban con la visión de nuestro distrito de proporcionar excelencia educativa a nuestra comunidad. Reconocemos la importancia de una gobernabilidad efectiva para garantizar el éxito y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes y de toda la comunidad escolar. Quiero enfatizar que esta decisión no fue debido al rendimiento académico de nuestro distrito. Tengan la seguridad de que nuestro distrito sigue comprometido en brindar excelencia educativa a cada uno de nuestros estudiantes y continuaremos administrando con ese enfoque en mente. Quiero asegurarles que nuestras escuelas continuarán operando sin contratiempos e interrupciones. Nuestros maestros y la administración de nuestro distrito continuarán firmes en nuestro compromiso de proporcionar a nuestros estudiantes la educación que se merecen.
