El Paso Independent School District plans to propose closing ten elementary schools due to budget deficit and declining enrollment.

The El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) plans to announce recommendations for closing ten elementary schools due to declining enrollments and a projected $32 million budget deficit. A board vote is scheduled for late November, with potential changes effective in the 2025-2026 school year. The closures are part of the Destination District Redesign aimed at enhancing educational quality and resource allocation, but have faced community opposition over transparency concerns.
