Weslaco ISD in favor of new Superintendent

In a 4-3 vote Weslaco's school board told it's Superintendent not to come back to work. Superintendent Richard Rivera did not attend the meeting. Board member Dr. Robert Sepulveda told the board he disagreed with it's decision.
Certain district employees, both former and current, say it's time for change.
Claiming intimidation from school board members, many declined to talk on camera. They say the allegations against rivera that were placed on the agenda are a fraction of the problems Rivera failed to fix.
The listed allegations include: misuse of state grant money, failure to address issues at the district's alternative high school, and failing to address cases of insubordination. The Superintendents attorney says the allegations are absurd.
One former school board member says he can't understand the need to remove Rivera from his spot when the Superintendent is set to retire in less than a year.
Each star behind the board members' heads represents a school year recognized by the texas education agency. They were all received under Rivera's rule.
Many are thankful, some say his time has come.
