Mariachi mayhem: New director not music to mariachi ears

By Andy Sevilla

An offer of free tutoring from a Texas State professor with decades of mariachi experience was declined by Lehman High Principal Michelle Chae, according to Mariachi Booster Club President Daphne Tenorio. That appears to be just one of the complaints Tenorio lodged against the principal, the new mariachi director and the overall hiring process.

District officials contend they are following policies and the final say on teacher hiring comes from the principal and the hiring committee.
