Ysleta ISD Board approves 1-year contract extension for Superintendent De La Torre
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – The Ysleta Independent Schol District (YISD) Board of Trustees approved a 1-year contract extension for Superintendent Dr. Xavier De La Torre, the district announced on Thursday, Jan. 30, in a news release. The district said De La Torre's contract extension is 'a reflection of the board's continued confidence in his leadership and ongoing commitment to improving the educational experience for all of its students.' In addition to the contract extension, De La Torre proposed a reduction in his benefits as part of his commitment to aligning his compensation with YISD's financial priorities, the district said. 'I am honored by the trust the Board has placed in me, and I look forward to continuing our work to ensure the success of every student in Ysleta ISD,' De La Torre said. 'This is a challenging time for school districts, and I believe it's important for all of us to work together in finding ways to better serve our students and community while being fiscally responsible.' 'Ysleta has become one of the state's top districts despite rising accountability standards and budget constraints,' Board President Cruz A. Ochoa said. 'This decision reflects a deep commitment to our students and community.' The district said that under De La Torre's leadership, YISD has earned numerous state and national honors including being named a 2025 District of Distinction. The district achieved an 'A' rating in 2022 and has maintained its position as El Paso's top-ranked school district for four consecutive years, the district added. De La Torre's 11-year tenure is second only to Dr. J.M. Hanks, YISD's first superintendent who served 51 years from 1929 to 1980, the district said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
