The Socorro Independent School District is in a deep financial hole and under the conservatorship of the Texas Education Agency.
In November they had to take out a $25.1 million loan to make payroll, and now we learn they must lay off about 300 teachers and staff to help shave $38 million from next year’s budget.
But hey, at least they have a brand new $58.9 million stadium for their losing team! (The Bulldogs have not had a winning season in 23 years and are currently 0-6 in their District).
The SISD Board of Trustees and administration should be deeply embarrassed by their financial malfeasance and some should probably face criminal prosecution, but don’t hold your breath!
