The Ysleta Independent School District is facing a financial crisis. The school board recently adopted a budget that will nearly deplete the district's savings. The adopted budget provides required step increases for teachers, but does not go beyond that.

The board made this decision in a relatively short meeting with limited public input, as only one person commented during the public portion. Further details on the budget and its implications are available from El Paso Matters, which has been following the district's financial situation.
