## Resource

EPISD faces a $4.3 million deficit despite slashing $57 million in spending, achieved by eliminating 851 positions—525 in schools, 326 in central offices. The budget totals $523 million. This follows turmoil after two trustees resigned amid a declared financial emergency, leaving vacant seats to be filled by appointment—not election—until May 2027.
