Navarro ISD welcomes back Dee Carter as interim superintendent

(Seguin) – The Navarro ISD is welcoming back a very familiar face to help lead it in its search for a new top administrator. Former Superintendent of Schools Dee Carter has accepted the invitation to return to the district to serve as its interim superintendent.

Carter unveiled the surprising news herself in a letter to the community late Friday afternoon.

Carter, who retired in the spring of 2020, tells the Seguin Daily News that in the end, it was her strong desire that outweighed any hesitation in accepting the job on a temporary basis.

"I did have some hesitation because much to my amazement, my hands are full in retirement and I actually, also to my surprise, love being retired. My husband

and I moved to Houston to be near our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter and we live a half a mile from them. I pick up my 8-year-old granddaughter every day after school. We spend a couple of hours together and we see our family almost every day and I'm busy.

Guadalupe County closes books on record-breaking year

(Seguin) – Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show participants are again the big winners following what is being recorded as the largest show ever. Announcing the record-breaking year is Megan Reiley, co-secretary of the youth show committee.

“Every year, our goal is to be better than the last year and last year, we came in right at about $1.5 million and so we said all year, ‘we want to be better than that. We want to raise more money.’ As of (Sunday night), we were sitting at about $1.7. We are actually a lot

closer to $1.8 million every day. I’m not sure if we are going to hit $1.8 but $1.7 is incredible. We would have been happy with $1.6. We even would have happy with $1.5 but we had a ton of new buyers come out and participate --a lot of our continuous supporters for the past 50 years have come out and continued to support us,” said Reiley.

Reiley says the support being thrown their way by the buyers is what is most impressive.

“Sometimes finding these buyers is difficult and part of that

sales committee is trying to find those people who want to support these kids. You know there is sometimes that we might feel a little defeated like we are not going to get there and then every year, we just surprise ourselves and we give all the credit to the incredible buyers. We couldn’t do any of this without them,” said Reiley.

Reiley says support for these kids actually begins before each youth show in January. She says various events throughout the year help make it possible for all kids to benefit. Youth Show, pg. 3

Youth show, continued.

“A lot of these buyers, they have these big events that when people purchase tickets to these events, when they do the raffle prizes, the dinners – all these things. That money generated from those events goes straight to these kids. I think that’s really important for people to know when they buy tickets to Wade Busby or Ann, Bethany Bertling (And Tristan Gonzalez Foundation) – we have so many buying groups that when you support those groups, not only are you supporting that event, but those events come back and spend that money directly on our kids,” said Reiley.

Reiley says she extends kudos to all buyers including those mom-and-pop businesses who spend anywhere from $50 to $1000.

She is also just thankful for all those who acknowledge the hard work of these kids. She says it allows them to continue to raise more animals and allows the seniors to put those funds toward their college tuition.

At the end of the day, Reiley says it’s making

Carter, continued.

I've got lots to do in retirement but when I was contacted by Mrs. (Renee) Rehfeld (board president) to ask if she might place my name before the board for consideration, I guess my heart skipped a beat because my heart has always been here at Navarro for a long, long time. So, I spoke with my husband, and I spoke with my family, and everyone agreed that they could figure out how to make it work if indeed I came back here for a few months. So, here I am, and I'm just delighted to be here," said Carter.

Carter, who already admits to hitting the ground running, says coming back to a home where she served 14 years as superintendent has been a welcoming experience.

“It’s so interesting. I think I said in the letter that I wrote Friday afternoon, it’s like a time warp. So much is the same and so much is different. I’ve really enjoyed seeing both staff members and some of the older kids that I knew. Some of our community members have stopped by already. I appreciate that so much and I love to see people and chat with you and so you can share with me what your wants and desires are and come by. Say hi!” said Carter.

sure that they are raising the most for the kids and providing them with the best shot at their futures.

“The great thing about Guadalupe County is we like to sell 75 percent of our exhibitors so in a class of goats or a class of lambs, 75 percent of that class is going to sell which is incredible. We try and get that number as high as possible so actual sell lots that went through the sale – we were at 406 lots. So, exhibitors that actually went across the auction block was 406,” said Reiley. “Another great thing about Guadalupe County for our exhibitors who may have come and shown a pen of rabbits or a goat and unfortunately didn’t make the auction, we still give them the opportunity to raise money and receive addons from some of these buyers. So, they were still able to receive money and get some funds and those non-placing exhibitors really did have a lot of those buyers put money on them,” said Reiley.

This year’s youth show welcomed a total of 518 exhibitors. Many of those youth entered multiple projects. The youth show was held Jan. 17-21 at the Guadalupe County Fairgrounds.

the public to come and make their wishes known and so far as the kind of leadership that they would like to see at the school district and just doing the best I can to help the staff get the job done that they need to do and be able to focus their attention on taking care of the kids in the best way," said Carter.

Although she is enjoying her homecoming, Carter says she arrives at one of the busiest times of the year and is committed to supporting the district as much as possible.

"Well, it's an extraordinarily busy time for kids and staff and for our families. We've got testing to look forward to. We've got very very busy calendars in all extra-curricular areas during the spring, so the kids are extraordinarily busy and of course getting ready for graduation is a big deal and making that transition to a new superintendent is also a very important process for the community. My goal is to work with Mr. Morales. He and I are in partnership. He continues as deputy superintendent and we are going to work together to help the district have a smooth and great and exciting spring and I will be helping to support the board in the search for superintendent just arranging for town hall meetings and inviting

Carter says it’s especially important that she ensure the district’s financial obligations and that she help make this transition as smooth as possible for the teachers and employees.

“We’ve got a budget to develop. That’s always also a very big deal in the spring. There are so many new state requirements and guidance in terms of safety and security. We want to be sure we can continue to progress with that – just lots to do. So, my job is to help the staff do that as easily as they can – try to kick the obstacles out of their way so they can get their work done,” said Carter.

Following Carter’s footsteps in the spring of 2020 was former Superintendent Wendi Russell who only after two years retired from the position. Since then, the district has been led by Morales. Morales has since returned to his role as deputy superintendent and will now be assisting Carter this spring.

She also made quilts and sold her many items at craft shows. She often times made thoughtful and useful Christmas gifts for family and friends. She also loved to bake and started a family tradition of making nut rolls and pizzelles every Christmas.

Dorcas and Benny had a golden marriage. She worked with him at the Broadway Technical Institute, a job Dorcas and Benny owned and she held dear. She was a mentor and she loved all the students that she and Benny taught. Dorcas mentored those students with love. Eventually she became interested in genealogy which led her and Benny to serve in the family history center for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was a devoted member of her church where she held many callings.

Washington Man Dies From Eye Drops (Seattle, WA) -- A King County man is dead after using eye drops linked to an outbreak of drug-resistant infections. The Washington State Department of Health says the man died from a blood infection after using EzriCare Artificial Tears.

Patients get infections in their blood, urine and lungs.
