Willie Tenorio, Jr. – School Board Trustee, District 2
Hello, I am Guillermo “Willie” Tenorio, Jr. of Kyle. I am the President of the Hays CISD School Board and serve as the District 2 Trustee. My graduation from the Hays CISD School system allowed me to obtain a college degree and a good job. I know a good education improves the lives of each student. I serve because a strong education makes a difference in the lives of the young people in the district.
I am a graduate of Hays High School and received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin. My wife, Daphne and I have two children, Will—at Lehman High School, and Natalia—a student at Armando Chapa Middle School.
Daphne and I enjoy working with the school district and it is particularly special to us to spend time at Fuentes Elementary—we know how much the kids, the staff and the teachers meant to Aunt Susie. Fuentes elementary is named for my Aunt, life-long Kyle resident Susie T. Fuentes and sister of my father, Willie Tenorio, Sr.
I have served on the Hays District Leadership Team (DLT) and on the 2004 Citizens Bond Committee. The Committee proposed an $89.4 million bond package that received overwhelming support—paying for the construction of two new elementary schools, one new middle school, and district-wide improvements.
My professional experience gives me the special skills to be an effective member of the School Board. As a Business Analyst at the Health and Human Services Commission, I lead projects to update software programs. Prior to my role there, I served in multiple capacities, including monitoring federal housing programs, developing policies, interpreting federal regulations, auditing grant and loan programs and accounting.
My strong fiscal policy and analytical experience helps me in my role as a Board Member. As our school district faces financial challenges, we must remain focused on maximizing the dollars we spend directly educating students while balancing our responsibility to offer the absolute best facilities we can afford. The majority of the school board’s decisions depend on strong financial analysis and my education and job experience give me the tools needed for the challenge.
