The Edgewood Independent School District board will hold a special meeting Wednesday evening, November 11, to vote on a retirement agreement with Superintendent Eduardo Hernandez. Hernandez signed a contract extension on September 15 to work through June 2031.
Why it matters
The vote determines how and when leadership of a San Antonio-area school district changes after nearly nine years under Hernandez. The outcome will shape continuity for students, staff and families in the district.
The district's records show Hernandez's contract was first extended through 2030 last year and again through June 2031 on September 15. The specific financial terms of the retirement agreement have not been made public.
