January is School Board Recognition Month

January is designated School Board Recognition Month in Texas, and Eagle Pass ISD is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge the invaluable contributions that elected Board of Trustees make to their communities.
Superintendent Gilberto Gonzalez said that even though the District is making a special effort in January to show appreciation to Board members, their work takes a year-round commitment.
“As elected officials, they are the voice of our community,  serving first and foremost in the best interest of children of Eagle Pass." he said. "Board members are remarkable people who voluntarily tackle the job of governing school districts. Their ultimate goal is always focused on the future success of every student enrolled in our district."
"Our board members provide vision and leadership in their roles as advocates, and they will continue to stand up for public education, our children,  and our public schools," Gonzalez added. “They serve as a crucial link between the community and classroom.  We applaud their efforts.”
Our seven elected individuals represent the interests of all Eagle Pass: our students, staff, parents, business owners, taxpayers and senior citizens.  They fully understand their role as leaders and policy makers.
 
Serving on the Eagle Pass Independent School District:  President Ignacio J. Saucedo, Vice- President Glenna Purcell, Secretary Lupita Fuentes, Trustee Hilda Martinez,  Trustee Rudy Bowles,  Trustee Humberto Torrabla, and Trustee Dr. Hector Alvarez.
 
EPISD Trustees will receive special recognition during the next regular Board meeting, January 13, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Deluna Center, 649 Webster.
