A critical project aimed at enhancing the learning environment at Del Valle ISD has sparked significant concern among board members. During a recent special board meeting, Vice President Ledesma expressed frustration over ongoing facility issues that have persisted despite previous walkthroughs and notifications to school staff.

Ledesma highlighted that many problems appear to have been neglected for years, raising questions about the effectiveness of the work order process. "Some of this stuff looks like it's been there for a while," she stated, emphasizing her disbelief that no action had been taken to address these concerns.

In response, district officials acknowledged that the issues at the campus are not recent but rather the result of long-term neglect. They noted that the standard of maintenance at the school has been inadequate, leading to a backlog of unresolved work orders. This situation has prompted the district to seek additional support to prepare the campus for the upcoming school year.

The discussions underscore the urgent need for improvements to ensure that all students have access to a safe and inviting learning environment. As the district moves forward, the focus will be on addressing these longstanding issues to foster a culture of academic success and pride within the school community.
