ECISD, others to hold press conference regarding school funding 

Ector County ISD will host a “mayday” press conference on Monday, May 1, that will include superintendents from other West Texas school districts.

The press conference will be held at the ECISD Administration Building, 802 N. Sam Houston, and will begin at 11 a.m. in Conference Room A/B on the third floor.

With one month left in the legislative session there is an urgent need to secure the funding necessary to meet the needs of Texas public schools. The state has a record $32 billion surplus. Significant new revenue is needed for public education to keep up with rising costs.

Scheduled speakers include Ector County ISD Superintendent Scott Muri; ECISD 2022 Secondary Teacher of the Year Melisa Valenzuela; Big Spring ISD Superintendent Jay McWilliams; and Greenwood ISD Superintendent Ariel Elliott.
