According to an article in the El Paso Times the other day, EPISD convened a group of high school students from all EPISD high schools to consider the current bond initiative. The Times wrote:
The students said programs and teachers were more important to them than school buildings, and they also supported creating pre-K-8 schools.
I guess that none of them are in the construction or real estate businesses.
We deserve better

But yet, the administration bullies teachers under the excuse of innovation. Ask teachers about morale. Ask who gets the promotions. All of it a scheme to gut public education and turn it into yet another profit-making venture.
