“He’s sad, he was devastated about it. He’s put in a lot of hard work, a lot of practices. He was excited, and it didn’t happen, it fell through,” he said.

Garcia added, “I went in there and briefly spoke about the board taking a vote of confidence and maybe replacing whoever is responsible for that oversight.”

Something FBISD’s Superintendent, Chris Steinbruck, said they were still investigating.

“I want to note that as soon as we determine or find an error was made, like in Flour Bluff, we believe in integrity, honesty, and admitting we made a mistake.”

Garcia also told Tony Jaramillo he believes this isn’t the first time this has happened.
When asked if this is the second time in four years, Steinbruck replied, “We’re still investigating. I’m still continuing to look into that.”
