The Texas education commissioner has announced that the term of the El Paso Independent School District board of managers will end after the May election cycle is finished as state law requires.
Once the May elections have determined who the new board members are they will join the ones who were elected in 2013 but were never allowed to take their rightful seats.
This chapter in the unfortunate saga will finally be over.
We need to watch to see what changes they make as their terms expire. They were not elected by us and are not accountable through the ballot box. Having nothing to lose politically (other than their reputations) they might use their final months to force changes that the public does not want.
Vigilance
We will eventually have elected officials that are accountable to the public running the school district again.
When this happens we need to have a heightened sense of vigilance. We need to watch this board and hold them accountable on a meeting by meeting basis.
If we do this and the board strays, we need to tell them how we feel. Even our local elected officials behave differently when they know the public is watching.
We deserve better
