CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — CCISD Superintendent Roland Hernandez was elected the UIL Legislative Council’s Chair during the group's recent meeting.
He is only the second Hispanic leader of the council in its 83-year history.
The University Interscholastic League's legislative council is its rule-making body, made up of 32 public-school administrators from around the state.
Hernandez's election happened at Monday's annual meeting.
"As a former coach, myself, I know many, if not all, the coaches in this area they work hard -- male and female,” he said. “I support what they do. It's to provide the best for the students across the board."
The UIL manages and creates rules for almost all academic, musical, and athletic contests for public primary and secondary schools in Texas.
