The replacement for Houston Independent School District trustee Diana Dávila is unknown, but the board of education should be closer to figuring out how that person will be chosen after a workshop Thursday morning.
HISD trustees and Superintendent Terry Grier will discuss whether to appoint a replacement or hold a special election for the District VIII post, which represents central and northeastern areas of Houston.
Dávila was first elected to the board in November 2003 and served as president of the board in 2006. She resigned last month, citing the need to spend more time with family. Her resignation came after the Houston Chronicle reported that Dávila had tried to secure an appointment for her husband to a school district committee that oversees construction projects, but Dávila told the newspaper that her decision was not related to that story.
Her replacement will serve until the November election next year.
The HISD board workshop is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. Thursday at the Hattie Mae White building on 400 W. 18th St.
Also on the agenda Thursday is more discussion of the district-wide strategic direction.
