CANUTILLO | A Premier District

On Monday and Tuesday, I had the privilege of participating in an intensive training session with our Board of Trustees as part of the Lone Star Governance (LSG) program, initiated by the Texas Education Agency. The training, which took place here in El Paso, aims to strengthen the way school districts like ours are governed, ultimately benefiting our students.

As we gather to celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, it is with great pride and respect that we reflect upon the rich Mexican-American roots that run deep within our district. This month, we honor the enduring spirit, contributions and cultural heritage of our Hispanic community, which has played an integral role in shaping the Canutillo we know and love today.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week made a decision to expand the deployment of NARCAN, a life-saving medication, to all Texas law enforcement agencies – including the police forces that help protect school districts. While I am pleased to inform you that our Canutillo ISD Police Department already possesses NARCAN, we commend the Governor's prudent decision to extend its availability and update our current supplies.
