      This article:

      https://www.texasobserver.org/why-was-this-11-year-old-honor-roll-student-put-in-solitary/

      Should shed some light on the subject. Particularly:

      Garza comes from a Brownsville education legacy. Her mother, Rachel Medina Ayala, was one of Brownsville Independent School District’s first female superintendents. Garza’s two sisters are also principals in the district.

      So, in answer to your question:

      What kind of incompetent principal reacts to trouble making elementary schoolers by calling the cops on them?

      A nepotism hire with a vindictive streak.

      This ain’t incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program

      The same that calls CPS on parents

      Other parents have also complained to the outlet about the principal. One mother said that, after a meeting with Garza about her 5-year-old in which her own mom questioned the school’s special education plan for the boy, Garza called Child Protective Services on her.
