The El Paso Independent School District released a corrective action plan with 11 recommendations after an internal audit into academic service contracts found evidence of waste, alleged vendor favoritism and a lack of transparency during former Superintendent Juan Cabrera s administration.
EPISD s Superintendent of Finance and Operations Carmen Arrieta-Candelaria and Chief Academic Officer Tamekia Brown were suspended and placed on paid administrative leave on ahead of the release of results on an internal audit into academic service contracts over two weeks later.
EPISD declined to confirm whether the two would continue to be employed by the district, though the corrective action plan recommends the Chief Academic Officer should take an active role in three solutions to be implemented this year.

The more that we look at what employers are looking at when students graduate from high school and college are the interpersonal skills, said Ray Lozano, the executive director of student and family empowerment at the El Paso Independent School District.
