‘Every single student:’ San Antonio ISD superintendent finalist is meeting, listening, talking
Ronald Cortes / ContributorMinutes after his name was made public as the next San Antonio Independent School District superintendent, Jaime Aquino was already on task, introducing himself to the community.
His brief news conference was livestreamed. So was his meeting Tuesday afternoon with the San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board, another round of introductions, questions and approving nods from board members. He had spent years in a seminary, drawn to become a priest as a way to serve the most vulnerable communities in his native country. The calling to an education career was stronger, though he thought about quitting in his first year of teaching.
The district’s search drew 40 applicants vying to replace Superintendent Pedro Martinez, who departed in September. Naming a sole finalist by April was the board’s best-case scenario.
