Local School Districts Will Discuss State Budget Cuts At Event At 10:30 a.m. Saturday

Canutillo ISD Superintendent Damon Murphy, El Paso ISD chief financial officer Ken Parker and Socorro ISD Superintendent Xavier De La Torre will be our guests for this month’s Meet the Press. This is a chance to ask them about state budget cuts and how they’re affecting districts in El Paso County, including any effects on the quality of education area students are receiving.

The event will take place at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 30 in the El Paso Times community room, 300 N. Campbell. Parking is available in the El Paso Times parking lot. Food and drinks are for sale at the event, with all proceeds benefiting the Press Club, a nonprofit organization.

An invitation was extended to Ysleta ISD to send a superintendent or a representative to be a part of the Meet the Press, but the district was unable to provide a representative to discuss the topic.
