The Eagle Pass Independent School District Board of Trustees elected new officers at its Tuesday, June 9, 2015, regular meeting after consulting with their legal counsel in Executive Session regarding the reorganization of its board once they returned into Open Session.

Elected as new Officers of the Eagle Pass Independent School District are Lupita Fuentes as President, Hilda Martinez as Vice-President, and Dr. Hector Alvarez as Secretary.

Previously, Ignacio “Nacho” Saucedo had served as Board President since November 11, 2012, Glenna Purcell as Vice-President, and Lupita Fuentes as Secretary.

The Eagle Pass Independent School District is currently undergoing an independent audit of its employee pay scale after discovering that at least four or more employees had been overpaid for several years.

Lupita Fuentes has previously served as President of the local school district Board of Trustees during an earlier term of office.

The Eagle Pass Independent School District will be working on its annual budget during the next couple of months for its 2015-2016 fiscal year.
