Summary
El Paso’s school district faces a brutal financial crunch, threatening to slash over 400 jobs amid a $52.8 million deficit. The superintendent’s sudden pivot from “no cuts” to recommending financial exigency signals deep trouble, with potential layoffs hitting 9% of the workforce. The plan includes cutting 250 campus and 160 central office roles to save $28 million annually — while also trimming stipends, contracts, software, travel, and even selling property. Health savings account contributions may drop by $1.3 million. With details still evolving, the board’s decision could reshape thousands of lives.
