## Resource

El Paso Independent School Districts Chief Financial Officer, Martha Aguirre, resigned amidst a budget crisis. The district is facing a potential $5-20 million shortfall due to a surprise recalculation of state homestead tax breaks. Aguirres departure comes as the district seeks to improve financial management and transparency. Deputy Superintendent David Bates will handle finances temporarily, and the district is immediately searching for both an interim and permanent CFO replacement.
