Dallas, TX –
The Dallas Independent School District has installed Chief Financial Officer, Steve Corby, as the interim I-T Chief.
On Tuesday, Patricia Verimontes was escorted from that job by School police. Because it's a personnel matter, the officials cannot say if she was fired. Trustee Jack Lowe says he was informed of the move just before it happened.
Lowe: I think she was let go, would be the word I would use if somebody asked, but that may not be the right technical word.
Patricia Verimontes is married to DISD Chief of Staff Arnold Verimontes, and Lowe hopes he stays. Lowe is not sure about Corby's I-T experience.
Lowe: I don't think Steve is an I-T expert, I don't know that he's not. But that's not what we hired him for. But he's a quite competent executive.
Lowe says in today's job market, it should not take long to find another I-T chief.
