Last month, the Rio Grande City Grulla ISD Board of Trustees named Elsa Morris as the interim superintendent. 

Prior to the appointment, Morris was the district’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.

School board president Basilio Villarreal confirmed to Channel 5 News that Morris isn’t being paid extra for her new role.

The district said they want to keep Morris as interim superintendent for as long as possible before hiring a permanent replacement.
