Del Valle Independent School District has been in active search mode for a new superintendent and it appears the hunt has concluded with the board announcing Dr. Matthew Gutierrez as the sole finalist for the position. In a special board meeting on Saturday, the board cast a unanimous vote in favor of Dr. Gutierrez after considering candidates from a pool of 41 applications. Dr. Gutierrez, if officially appointed following the required 21-day waiting period, will step into a notable role as the first Latino superintendent of Del Valle ISD, as reported by KXAN.
