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.
