Monahans mayor seeks new home for troubled facility
Monahans mayor David Cutbirth urged keeping the West Texas State School in Pyote open or transitioning it to another state agency to protect local jobs as the Texas Youth Commission weighs closing the 26 acre campus along I-20 west of Odessa by August. TYC officials cited budget cuts and potential community impact while noting a possible early closure order by the Legislative Budget Board. Two former administrators face trial on multiple felony charges related to 2004 allegations.
