SMPD: Still no leads in fatal October shooting

The San Marcos CISD board has three names to consider for its new elementary school. 

A committee selected by the trustees chose Velia R. Cavazos, Dr. Carlos Rodriguez and Soila Rodriguez as potential honorees. The board will make a final decision on the school name at its regular meeting in May.

Rodney van Oudekerke, chair of the committee who selected the names, said when the committee met on April 4 to look through applications sent in by the public with suggestions for names, there were 127 applications to look through. Among those 127 applications, 18 names were submitted. He said the committee looked at every single application. 

The final three names were selected based on the individuals’ qualifications and the district’s criteria.
