Texas Tech Health El Paso named Dr. Eric M.

Rohren as the new dean of the Foster School of Medicine—he will start in October, replacing Dr. Richard Lange who will focus on his role as president. The radiologist comes from Baylor College of Medicine and plans to boost research, education and patient care in the Paso del Norte region.

The EPISD board adopted a $541.2 million budget with a $6 million deficit for the 2025-26 school year and approved a new compensation plan that raises teachers’ pay and increases employee health care costs—these changes come as the district plans to adjust class sizes and reviews its attendance policy to better manage state funding. Board members said the moves aim to maintain a healthy fund balance while addressing long-standing operational challenges.
