Trustees overseeing El Paso Independent School District voted to declare financial exigency last week after the district’s leaders discovered a $52 million hole in EPISD’s budget. Afterward, two elected trustees resigned. On this episode of the El Paso Matters Podcast, education reporter Claudia Silva and CEO Bob Moore discuss the situation EPISD is in, what the trustees’ resignations means and what to expect for the district going forward as EPISD prepares to lay employees off and put a bond election to voters later this year.
