Changes to Administrative Team

Dr. Carl A. Montoya has announced a few additional changes to his top administrative team. Effective immediately, Mary Jo Monfils, Area Assistant Superintendent for the Lopez and Porter cluster schools, will assume duties as the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction.

Berta Peña who currently holds the curriculum position has been named the Assistant Superintendent for Administration. In this position, Peña will oversee the Pace and Porter cluster schools, the Brownsville Early College High School, and the Brownsville Learning Academy. She will also provide leadership to the area assistant superintendents.

Jay Harris will supervise the Veterans Memorial cluster and the Lopez cluster. Dr. Rita Hernandez will supervise the Hanna and Rivera clusters and the Brownsville Academic Center.

“It is important to get our top administrative team in place as soon as possible to face the challenges of a leaner budget and the changes in standardized testing,” said Dr. Montoya. “These leaders are seasoned professionals who will continue to guide our district to proven student academic success. I thank them for their willingness to assume these duties.”
