Brownsville, Texas – The Brownsville Independent School District (Brownsville ISD) announces today that Superintendent of Schools Dr. René Gutiérrez was elected to represent Region One on the Executive Committee for the 2021–2023 term.
“I am very honored and humbled to have been elected to the Executive Committee of Region One in South Texas,” said Dr. Gutiérrez, Superintendent of Schools for Brownsville ISD. “I look forward to working with my colleagues in this region to continue to support education and the students of Region One.”
Dr. Gutiérrez replaces Hafedh Azaiez who had been elected to the position, but resigned prior to the start of the term after accepting the position of Superintendent of Round Rock ISD in Region 13. Gutiérrez will serve a term ending May 13, 2023.
Region One is part of a state-wide system of 20 regional education service centers created in 1965 by the 59th Texas Legislature to assist school districts across the state. Originally slated to work with school districts as a media center, the role of Region One has expanded to work alongside school districts to carry out the three main objectives:to assist school districts in improving student performance in each region of the system; enable school districts to operate more efficiently and economically; and implement initiatives assigned by the legislature or commissioner.
Located in South Texas on the United States/Mexico border, Region One serves 38 school districts and 10 charter school systems in the eight county areas of Brooks County, Cameron County, Hidalgo County, Jim Hogg County, Starr County, Webb County, Willacy County, and Zapata County.
