The Canutillo Independent School District (CISD) held a special board meeting on January 12, 2026, primarily focused on the hiring and contract approval of a new superintendent. Public comment was received expressing concerns about the candidate's limited experience and the potential risks to managing a significant $378 million bond and district oversight. Despite community opposition, the board moved forward with the contract approval for Jay Borggo as superintendent, voting unanimously to authorize the board president to sign the agreement. The meeting did not include other procurement or budget allocation discussions beyond the superintendent's contract terms.
