El Paso Schools Cut 55 Jobs Amid Budget Crisis
Description
El Paso schools face tough cuts as the school board votes to eliminate fifty-five positions amid a massive budget shortfall—nearly $90 million spent on salaries alone. Originally considering 94 cuts, the board narrowed the list to protect students, especially those in special education, while trimming roles from planetarium facilitators to coaching staff across high schools like Andress, Austin, and Franklin. Though the district initially hinted at up to 250 job losses, the final number remains uncertain. A silver lining? School psychologists are spared, though one shared the emotional weight of seeing colleagues lose their jobs.
