Guerra named permanent superintendent

The Laredo Independent School District Board of Trustees has selected Veronica F. Guerra as the district’s superintendent of schools. The announcement was made during the April 19, 2007 regular board meeting.

"I am thankful to the board of trustees for the confidence and support they have afforded me," said Guerra. "We have had much success in my short tenure as interim superintendent, and I strongly believe our board, staff, and students are collaboratively moving in the right direction." Guerra had served as Laredo ISD interim superintendent since February 2, 2007.

A 29-year veteran of Laredo ISD, Guerra is presently working to obtain a doctoral degree in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University. She earned both bachelors and masters of Science degrees from Laredo State University. Additionally, Guerra holds superintendent, mid-management/administrator, professional supervisor, and Texas teacher certificates.

“Mrs. Guerra has initiated a number of impressive projects in her brief time as our interim superintendent,” said Laredo ISD board president John Peter Montalvo. “It’s obvious she knows how to get the job done all while keeping the best interest of students in mind. Already she has made a big difference within our school system.”

Under Guerra’s leadership as campus principal, Buenos Aires Elementary School attained a Texas Education Agency rating of Recognized for the 1992-1993 school year. In 2000-2001, she helped Christen Middle School garner a Recognized rating. Also, Guerra helped to coordinate the Texas Reading First Grant in 2004-2005 which will net the district approximately $13 million to help students achieve reading mastery by the end of the third grade.

During her brief tenure as interim superintendent, Guerra launched numerous campaigns including “Safe Connect: Keeping an Eye on the Net,” “Attendance Matters,” “Project M2 = Success,” and the development of a campus support team to assist students at the district’s six unacceptable campuses.
