THUMBS DOWN CAN’T TRUST THOSE TRUSTEES

THUMBS DOWN to DISD board member RENE CASTILLA for his recent shenanigans. Just days after an unusual community consciousness-raising effort saved Castilla’s bacon in his run-off election against seedy pol ROBERT ROBERT MEDRAND, the trustee sullied his image by playing back-room kingmaker and injecting more politics into the most politicized and impotent elected body in town. Does this board ever do anything that helps students learn? Cmon. Rene: you’re better than that.
