Tonight our Ector County ISD Board of Trustees met for their June workshop. They discussed the 2026-27 budget situation (they will officially adopt the budget next week), the proposed compensation plan that is a key part of that budget, and the options they have for filling the soon-to-be-vacant board Position 1. The recap of the agenda is now posted on our website at https://bit.ly/4e1b8ZU .
Some stories come full circle.
As a child, Diane Crawford walked the halls of Sam Houston Elementary - ECISD as a student. Decades later, she is retiring from the very same school after 30 years of service as its secretary.
Through generations of students, families, and staff, Diane became a familiar face and a steady presence at Sam Houston. As she begins her next chapter, we celebrate her dedication, her legacy, and the countless lives she touched along the way.
