ECISD to name Mendez as superintendent amid salary debate
ECISD trustees will meet Friday to officially name Hector Mendez superintendent and finalize contract details. The district faces scrutiny after turbulent years, with the Odessa Chamber urging support for Mendez’s plan to lift ECISD from a ditch and improve student performance. Mendez, interim since a public firing, has earned praise for outreach and decisive action, while salary discussions hinge on TEA data showing peers earning from 188000 to 285000.
