The Socorro Independent School District (ISD) Board of Trustees convened on July 23, 2025, to address key administrative matters, including the employment contract for Superintendent James P. Vasquez.

During the meeting, Board President Nahada and Mr. Blanco discussed the proposed agreement with Vasquez, noting that a few details remained to be finalized with legal counsel. Mr. Blanco emphasized the necessity of obtaining a certification waiver from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) before the contract could be fully executed. He requested the board's approval to proceed with the application for this waiver, which is essential for Vasquez to officially serve as superintendent.

The board unanimously approved the motion to authorize the waiver application, allowing the process to move forward. The meeting concluded shortly after, with no additional business on the agenda.

This decision marks a significant step in solidifying leadership within the Socorro ISD, as the board works to finalize the terms of Vasquez's contract in the coming days.
