Harlingen school board to discuss super’s employment in special meeting

J.A. Gonzalez

The Harlingen school board has called a special meeting for Tuesday afternoon to consult with legal counsel “regarding employment and possible resignation of Superintendent and appointment of Interim Superintendent.”

Former McAllen superintendent J.A. Gonzalez took the helm in Harlingen in September 2023.

In April, the school board gave Gonzalez a $10,000 raise, bumping his salary to $310,000 starting Sunday. The board also granted Gonzalez, who had previously served as McAllen ISD’s superintendent, a one-year extension in his three-year contract after giving him high marks during an evaluation.

The Tuesday employment discussion will be held in executive session.

Following the executive session, the agenda said it may consider “possible action regarding employment of Superintendent, including possible acceptance of resignation letter.”

The board may also consider discussion and possible action to appoint or employ an interim superintendent.

The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
