Description:  “I shall call this meeting of the Banquete ISD to order.  Let the record show that a quorum of board members is present, that this meeting has been duly called, and that notice of the meeting has been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551.”

Description:  a staff member probably save a student's life yesterday. One of my diabetic students had a very low reading the previous day and so I sent an email out to all staff to make them aware, per parents request. My student had been at 41 but knew something wasn't right so he came in the day before. Yesterday, he had no idea that he was low but his teacher, Mrs. Tina Michelle Martinez, noticed he looked out of the norm and asked him if he needed to come see me. He said no, that he was fine. so she asked him again. He told her he would come check since she was persistent, so she sent him with another student as instructed the day prior. He came into my office, feeling no symptoms at all, at 36. Had she not noticed anything or taken the time to double check, things could have ended very badly yesterday. I understand that we all do training so that we can step up like she did, but not everyone would have acted as she did.
