Fabens Independent School District

What Fabens Independent School District does

Fabens Independent School District is a public K-12 school district located in Fabens, Texas, in the El Paso Lower Valley region approximately 30 miles east of downtown El Paso and four miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. The district serves students from Pre-K through 12th grade across four physical campuses — Fabens Elementary (Pre-K through 5), O'Donnell Intermediate (4-5), Fabens Middle School (6-8), and Fabens High School (9-12) — with approximately 338 staff listed across its directory. The district offers specialized academies including Cotton Valley Early College, P-TECH, and TSTEM, alongside standard academic instruction, CTE pathways, dual credit coursework, athletics, fine arts, and bilingual/migrant services. It is an open enrollment district accepting transfer students from other districts.

As a governmental entity organized under the Texas Education Code, Fabens ISD operates without tuition, generating no commercial revenue. Funding flows from three primary streams: state per-pupil allocations through the Texas Education Agency, local property tax revenue, and federal grants including Title I-III, IDEA, and ESSER COVID-19 relief funds, supplemented by USDA child nutrition reimbursements and facility rental fees collected through the Facilitron platform. The district holds a District of Innovation designation (adopted May 17, 2017), granting charter-school-like flexibilities, and has received TEA approval for its Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program enabling six-figure teacher compensation.

The district's technology stack is entirely composed of third-party EdTech platforms: Frontline Education for the Student Information System, HR, and online registration; ClassLink for single sign-on; Edgenuity for online coursework and credit recovery; Google Workspace for Education for productivity; Blackboard for mass communications; Raptor for visitor management; myOn and Gale Resources for digital reading and research; and Goodside Health for telemedicine. Fabens ISD is governed by a seven-member volunteer Board of Trustees that appoints a Superintendent (currently Dr. Rogelio Segovia) to oversee daily operations. The district has no parent company, no private equity backing, and no subsidiaries.
