RAYMONDVILLE — After three years, the school board has a new slate of officers.
But Lupe Ruiz, who has served as president since winning election in 2013, no longer serves as president or an officer.
Board members held an election of officers in a special meeting May 16, days after Ruiz was released from jail, where he was held for failure to pay child support.
In the election, Jessica Cantu-Ramirez, who had served as vice president since winning election in 2013, was chosen the board’s president.
Meanwhile, Daniel Garcia, who won election last year, was selected vice president, while Jaime Villarreal, also elected last year, is the board’s new secretary.
Rolando Longoria was re-elected assistant secretary.
