Tornado from Texas.
Vail, Kathleen
Executive Educator, v18 n1 p16-18 Jan 1996
Santa Fe School Superintendent Yvonne Gonzales, the "Texas Tornado," was hired to fix a 40% student-dropout rate and a white/Hispanic gap in achievement test scores. Gonzales is an avid integrationist; relies on humor, appeasement, and persuasion tactics; and has alienated some school employees by increasing central office administrators. (MLH)
