"The Southwest Independent School District will soon be looking for a new chief after Superintendent Velma Villegas announced her retirement, effective June 30, during a Jan.18 school board meeting.
“This decision is one that has mixed emotions for me because I have come to love the Southwest community and my work as your superintendent,” she said in a letter to the board.
Villegas said she plans to spend more time with her family and do some consulting work, including helping Texas A&M-San Antonio develop its teacher preparation program.
A Texas native, Villegas has led the district since 2005. She previously was an assistant superintendent in Spring Branch ISD near Houston."
