Posted

EDINBURG, Texas - Willacy County Commissioner Ernie Garcia was one of the panelists at the Rio Grande Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 State of the RGV forum.

The event was held at Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance.

In his opening remarks, Garcia spoke about public education.

“School vouchers, they are a big concern,” Garcia said. “These (Willacy County’s four school districts) are small schools and my understanding is they could be negatively impacted by that.”
