After serving seven months of his six-year
term, District 4 trustee Edmundo Zaragoza
will resign his post on the Alamo Commu-
ni ty College District board at its next meeting
Feb. 19.
Zaragoza was appointed Precinct 5 justice
of the peace Jan. 23 by Bexar County com-
missioners and decided to quit his position
on the ACCD board of trustees to devote
more time to his new job.
He was nominated by new Commissioner
Robert Tejeda, who resigned the Precinct 5
justice of the peace position two weeks ago
when he was sworn in as county commis-
sioner. Zaragoza's appointment was
unanimous.
"It's a good move politically for me, and I
will also be able to serve the people in a
greater role," he said Wednesday in a tele-
phone interview from Austin.
"My new job is a full-time duty and the
responsibility of being an ACCD trustee
needs as much time as you can give it."
Zaragoza served 19 years on the
Harlandale school board before joining the
ACCD board.
He also resigned his job as customer ser-
vice supervisor for VIA Metropolitan
Transit. He had been with VIA since 1978.
Zaragoza was a member of the ACCD
board's building committee.
Zaragoza has been in Austin since Sunday,
preparing for his new role by attending the
Texas Justice Court Training Program, a 40-
hour school for new judges.
Tuesday will be his first day in court.

ing fixtures on Lot J-2 south of West
Park Avenue and west of Howard
Street.
Basically, the justice court system is not a
court of record. It's really working with
people and I feel I'm pretty good at that."
Zaragoza said he did not get the chance to
accomplish many of his district goals because
his stay on the board was cut short.
"I didn't really get to accomplish what I
wanted to do," he said. "I wanted to finish

Gene Rutherford, vice president

was not firm with his office.
"We understood that the informa-

That's always been the case,"
Rutherford said. "Dr. Dye's agenda
