"I would like to thank the community and school board for allowing me the honor of serving on the board these last two years. With Dr. Maika leading the district into the future, we will see new and amazing programs for our students and community," Trevino said.

Trevino responded saying, "I did not learn about email till last night before the meeting," adding it was something that was not done intentionally.
