It looks like the Andress High School portion of the bond project is in trouble.
The last paragraph talks about the buildings being in a flood plain.
When did the district learn this?
We deserve better

EPISD–taking sides
February 27, 2018The EPISD board member that now tells us she is the campaign treasurer for our former county judge’s congressional campaign might be set to take a fall from grace.
The people at the district that are aligned with her might be in for trouble also.
The board member in question was recently a city representative. After she joined the EPISD board the district ended up hiring the former chief financial officer, the former city engineer, and the former deputy directory of planning from the city of El Paso.
During a recent school board meeting she publicly requested the superintendent’s resignation.
Her opponents are the superintendent and apparently the rest of the board.
The superintendent would be a fool to knowingly have disloyal people on his staff.

That was for practice.
Then he made school boards.

EPISD–fighting the wrong battle
February 19, 2018It looks like the political situation over at the EPISD board is getting pretty bad.
Recently two board members requested board action to cause an audit of the activities of a third.
The one they want to audit is aligned with our former county judge who is now running for congress and is against the current superintendent and the former board president (who is also running for congress).
I don’t see how the board has the power to order an audit (investigation) into one of its members. They can certainly ask to have an audit performed relating to actions performed or not performed by district staff, but auditing an elected board member is beyond their powers as far as I can tell.
It is unfortunate that many of our elected officials are so completely ignorant of the law.
We deserve better

EPISD–indicators of vendor favoritism
February 17, 2018Read this article in the Times.
The headline is:
EPISD audit finds ‘indicators of vendor favoritism’ related to bond contract
Will anyone be held accountable?
