Update: Socorro ISD approved more teacher and administrative contracts for the upcoming school year. 

This comes just weeks after the district voted to lay off a handful of employees to address its multi-million dollar budget deficit, just a few months ago.

According to the district, it's bringing back seven contracts from the 43 teacher contracts that were not renewed during the meeting earlier this month.

That means 36 contracts are not being renewed now. 

14 additional contracts were also approved.


EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Socorro Independent School District is having a board meeting tonight to discuss possibly approving additional Teacher and Administrator Contracts for the 2025-2026 School Year.

"Administration recommends consideration and approval of the contract recommendations for teachers, additional administrative contracts, librarians, nurses, counselors, speech therapists and education diagnosticians as presented," the meeting agenda explains.

The board will also be presented with and discuss a financial update, a TEA Conservator Executive Summary Report, and budget amendments.
