January in El Paso isn't just about ushering in a new year; it's also a time to give kudos to those steering the ship at the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD). The school district is participating in the statewide observance of School Board Recognition Month, a nod to the individuals who put in the hours to ensure the train stays on the tracks for student success and community engagement.
The theme "Our Future Is Public" speaks directly to the core of the Board's mission, fortifying public education, ensuring that each student has a fair shot at excellence, and that the local community grows stronger through this commitment. "El Paso ISD proudly joins school districts across Texas in celebrating School Board Recognition Month," as per El Paso ISD, lauding the expertise and dedication of its trustees.
This year's acknowledgments are directed towards the board's front-liners: President Leah Hanany, Vice President Dr. Jack Loveridge, Secretary Alex Cuellar, and Trustees Mindy Sutton, Robert Osterland, Valerie Beals, and Daniel Call. Their collective efforts, according to EPISD, consist of setting district priorities, enforcing accountability, and championing educational quality for every learner walking through the school's doors.
