EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — The El Paso Independent School District community has expressed its preferences for the next superintendent, according to a new report obtained by KFOX14/CBS4.
The report, based on feedback from recent community meetings, highlights the desired professional characteristics for the district’s new leader.
The community seeks a superintendent who promotes transparency, is visible on campus, and is bilingual, among other qualities.
Additionally, the report outlines key issues the community wants the new superintendent and school board to address, including declining enrollment, aging infrastructure, lack of trust and transparency, inequitable resource distribution, inconsistent communication, and insufficient faculty and staff support.
The report comes after EPISD organized six community meetings in October, seeking community input to help select its next superintendent.
The search for a new superintendent began after the resignation of former Superintendent Diana Sayavedra in June. Interim Superintendent Martha Aguirre has been leading the district since then.
