THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE LAREDO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT The Board of Trustees of the Laredo Independent School District is composed of seven members elected by the qualified voters of the city at elections held on the first Saturday of April of each year. One year two members are elected, the next year two more, and the following year three are elected. Each member serves for the term of three years. In that manner, at no time will the terms of a majority of the Board expire. The present members of the Board of Trustees and the expiration of their terms are as follows: I. C. Martin, President, term expires l945y A. R. Moser, Secretary, term expires . l945g M. S. Ryan, Vice-President, term expires l9435 B. G. Salinas, term expires 1943: Antonio Valls, term expires l943p C. L. Milton, term expires IQ44, and L. Daiches, term expires IQ44. As the Board of Directors of a large corporation, the Board of Trustees appoints the Superintendent, who is the executive manager of the business, and they also elect the teaching personnel and administrative staff to assist in maintaining an efficient system of schools. At present the Superintendent is William P. Galligan, who is now completing his fifteenth year in that position. Hugh S. Cluck is Business Man- ager and at the present time is serving as Mayor of the City of Laredo. Ernest A. Leyendecker is Auditor. Laredo is indeed fortunate in having men of the type of ability of those who com- pose its Board of School Trustees. They are providing schools for the children of Laredo that measure up to every standard set by the State Department of Education. That the people of Laredo believe they are doing a good job is evidenced by the fact hat there has been no change in the personnel of the Board for many years, each member having been drafted to succeed himself each time his term expires.
