El Chuqueño Blog – Community Forum with EPISD D1 Candidates

Posted on April 15, 2025

From Xavier Miranda

Please consider attending this community forum. 

Our public schools face daunting challenges coming from the federal and state levels. 

An array of stifling legislation is expected which will exacerbate teacher shortages, classroom censorship, inadequate funding, school closures, anti-LGBTQ policies, and state sponsored religion initiatives. 

The aforementioned challenges intensify longstanding and unique issues impacting our students in the Bowie High and El Paso High feeder patterns. 

Toxic environmental conditions, disproportionate and punitive disciplinary actions, and the prevalence of uncertified teachers are among some the documented inequities already brought forth by community advocates. 

EPISD trustee Leah Hanany, and candidate Monica Herrera would instill trust and accountability should they earnestly engage students, parents, and educators of the community. 

Hope to see you there.

Por favor, considere asistir a este foro comunitario organizado.

Nuestras escuelas públicas enfrentan enormes desafíos a nivel federal y estatal.

Se prevé una serie de leyes opresoras que exacerbarán la escasez de maestros, la censura en las aulas, la financiación insuficiente, el cierre de escuelas, las políticas anti-LGBTQ y las iniciativas religiosas patrocinadas por el estado.

Los desafíos mencionados intensifican problemas antiguos y únicos que afectan a nuestros estudiantes en las escuelas secundarias Bowie y El Paso.

Las condiciones ambientales tóxicas, las medidas disciplinarias desproporcionadas y punitivas, y la prevalencia de maestros sin certificación se encuentran entre algunas de las desigualdades documentadas que ya han sido denunciadas por los defensores de la comunidad.

La miembro de la junta directiva de EPISD, Leah Hanany, y la candidata Mónica Herrera infundirían confianza y responsabilidad si involucraran seriamente a los estudiantes, padres y educadores de la comunidad.
