He's been sitting in the top spot since June, but the position hasn't been made permanent for Brownsville Independent School District Interim Superintendent Doctor Carl Montoya.
But all that could change Tuesday at the Board of Trustee's meeting.
The job opening for Superintendent was posted just Friday, but on the meeting's agenda is an item that states the board could take action to name a sole finalist in the district's search
A public information request by ACTION 4 NEWS inquiring about the applicants for the job opening went unanswered Monday, but a spokesperson for the district says if Montoya is nominated as a sole finalist for the job, law requires a 21-day waiting period before the job offer is finalized.
Presas says the new superintendent will also have tough challenges up ahead, like getting the district's nearly half billion dollar budget balanced and their deficits resolved.
Presas is not confirming Montoya as the sole finalist, but says over the past six months, he's proven to be fit fot the job.
