This podcast contains comments from College Station ISD superintendent Mike Martindale during the July 20, 2021 CSISD school board meeting.

The July 20th meeting of the College Station ISD school board included approval of all recommended personnel decisions.

But board members received an e-mail from a concerned citizen about hiring a new elementary school principal with a lack of experience at that grade level.

CSISD superintendent Mike Martindale, who made the recommendation to select former College Station High School assistant principal Chris Southard as principal at Spring Creek elementary, explained the hiring process for the position.

Martindale said his career path included becoming an elementary principal after teaching then becoming an assistant middle school principal.
