When students return to campus within the San Antonio Independent School District, they’ll do so only when data from Metro Health gives the green light. That’s the word from this week’s guest, SAISD superintendent Pedro Martinez.

Martinez chats with our Randy Beamer about what the return to campus will look like and which students will be the first to arrive. He also discusses the high rate of poverty in SAISD and the programs designed to help these students. Plus, Martinez goes into detail about the $1.3 billion bond election that would makeover campuses, if approved in November.

Martinez became SAISD superintendent in June 2015. Prior, Martinez was Superintendent-in-Residence for the Nevada Department of Education and the superintendent for Washoe County School District in Nevada. Martinez is also on the Bexar County COVID-19 Economic Transition Team.
