The school board confirmed this morning that Superintendent Hernandez has submitted her resignation effective immediately. We are now shifting our focus to the upcoming board meeting where we will demand a transparent and inclusive search process for her replacement.

Stand Against Injustice: Demand Resignation of Superintendent Magda Hernandez for Toxicity, Incompetence, and Racism
Final supporters
Evidence:
Deterioration of District: Since assuming the role in 2018, the superintendent has overseen a decline in the overall state of the district. Academic performance indicators, student satisfaction, and staff morale have all suffered under her leadership, indicating a failure to effectively manage and improve the educational environment.
Toxic Work Environment: Multiple reports and testimonials from staff members highlight the pervasive toxicity within the district under the superintendent's tenure. Instances of bullying, intimidation, and favoritism have been reported, contributing to a hostile work environment that inhibits productivity and morale.
Discriminatory Work Practices: Numerous incidents have been documented where the superintendent has engaged in discriminatory practices, including making racist statements and exhibiting bias in hiring, promotion, and disciplinary actions. These actions not only violate ethical standards but also perpetuate systemic injustices within the organization.
This evidence clearly demonstrates the superintendent's inability to lead effectively and her disregard for fostering a positive and inclusive work environment

We are currently preparing a formal letter to the school board that highlights the documentation of these discriminatory practices. I need to reach one hundred signatures to establish the necessary leverage before submitting this request for a district review. Please direct your contacts to this page so we can finalize the evidence package for official delivery.

I retired a couple of years ago, a year before I was planning because of the work environment at admin bldg. Totally biased hiring practices. People being promoted because of relationship with superintendent. Extremely poor planning and wasteful spending.
Sad to say but I pulled my kids out of Irving ISD. As a parent, I too heard the rumors from the teachers my kids had built trust and rapport with. This superintendent must go!
Employee of Irving ISD, I must express my profound concern over instances of racial insensitivity demonstrated by our Superintendent. Such behavior is not only deeply troubling but also contradicts the foundational values of equity and respect that our district advocates.
As both a parent and an educator within Irving ISD, I find myself unable to support or work for a district that allows the current level of injustice emanating from the leadership at the central office. It is imperative that we seek substantial change to address these concerns.
I am a citizen of Irving and have seen yeachers morale go down and many good teachers leave due to the poor leadership
This behavior is not surprising as it's taken place across more than one school district in which she has been employed. The most recent example of a direct report of hers being caught on camera stating 'it's not illegal if you're not caught' while telling a parent to falsify a birth certificate is on brand for her own pattern of behaviors and actions and the culture at Irving ISD. Accountability for this pervasive mindset must start at the top.
I've worked with this woman before. She was of questionable character then, and obviously nothing has changed. With the size of that outrageous salary, it seems the school board can replace her with someone more competent and honorable, and put that difference back into the district.

The superintendent's visits to campus are solely for taking pictures with our students for her twitter. She gets upset if administrators don’t drop everything to escort her around. Then, she labels it a busy day and calls it quits – it's pathetic.
