Drainage District Prepares for Excavation in November with Local Students in Mind

The Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District (ECISD) Facilities Committee met on July 24, 2025, to discuss several key updates regarding ongoing construction projects and timelines. The primary focus of the meeting was on the drainage improvements necessary for upcoming school activities.

Committee members addressed the need for adjustments to the current plans, with one member indicating they had communicated with a colleague, Amado, to ensure readiness for the next steps. The committee is set to collaborate with the local drainage district, specifically with Mr. Sassine, to initiate the necessary excavation work.

However, it was noted that excavation cannot commence until November due to scheduling conflicts with school events, particularly football playoffs. The committee emphasized the importance of prioritizing student activities during this time. While excavation is delayed, other preparatory work, such as tree pruning and removal, can proceed to ensure that the site is ready for drainage installation.

The discussion highlighted the committee's commitment to balancing construction needs with the school calendar, ensuring that student activities remain the top priority. As the committee moves forward, they will coordinate closely with the drainage district to align their efforts effectively.
