EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Ysleta ISD approved a $420.2 million budget with a $22.2 million deficit (which may drop its savings to $10.8 million and force it to take a $49 million loan for payroll) and raised pay for teachers and staff, with teachers getting between $2,500 and $5,000 more while other workers received small increases. The board said there will be no layoffs, but the district risks money troubles if costs are not cut or extra funding is not found. KVIA
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ City officials said fireworks are banned in El Paso ahead of the July 4 weekend — anyone selling, using, or possessing them may face fines up to $500 and receive a Class C Misdemeanor as law enforcement monitors for sparks that could start fires. KVIA
- ➤ The El Paso Fire Department is expanding its non-emergency response with six new high-tech SUVs today. The vehicles—equipped with onboard computers and GPS tracking—support a Mobile Integrated Health Team of 12 paramedics to handle urgent cases like overdoses, fall risks, and mental health crises.

- ➤ A federal audit released in May found that the ICE processing center on Montana Avenue did not meet 15 key compliance areas—such as problems with detainee supervision, staff duties, and access to confidential support.
