Dear Canutillo Parents,
As has been our tradition for decades, Canutillo ISD will host polling sites at three campuses tomorrow for General Election Day: Canutillo Middle, Alderete Middle and Reyes Elementary (Please note that for this election cycle Canutillo Elementary is NOT a polling place). Voting is a cornerstone of the American experience, and we value our role in supporting this important civic process.
In recent weeks, we have heard from parents concerned about the current political climate and the potential for voting-related incidents at our schools. Student and employee safety remains our highest priority. We are committed to supporting our community’s civic responsibilities while ensuring our schools remain safe learning environments.
To address these concerns, each of the three campuses hosting polling sites on Tuesday, Nov. 3, will have at least one armed police officer on duty at all times. An additional two to three officers will rotate among the campuses to provide added security. Additional designated staff at each school also will monitor campus activity to ensure voting does not interfere with instruction or student safety.
We do not anticipate any disruption to instruction and will continue working closely with the El Paso County Elections Office to ensure a safe voting experience for our community and secure learning environments for our students.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Josue Borrego
Superintendent
Canutillo ISD
