The NEISD School Board Election &
County Appraisal Board Election, Saturday, May 4
School Board elections are traditionally nonpartisan. Right wing activists have changed all that. NEISD has good candidates for each seat on the board. The district has an equal number of activists who are determined to reshape the educational system to support their radical views on VOUCHERS, BOOK BANS and an array of GENDER ISSUES.
​
To learn more about the assault of activist groups on the Texas education system, see The Book-Loving Texan’s Guide to the May 2024 School Board Elections.
​
The Appraisal Board will have elected members for the first time. Democrats feel that allowing members of boards in cities with populations larger than 75,000 is a scheme by Republicans in the state legislature to insert right-wing influence on local funding, particularly the schools. A right-wing group call True Texas Project has endorsed candidates in this election. See their website for more information about their endorsements and their opposition to "wokeness."
​
The candidate receiving a plurality of the votes--not a majority--wins the election on Saturday. This makes it likely that a candidate can win by a tiny margin of votes. In a previous school board election, one trustee won by 5 or 6 votes. This means more than ever, every vote counts and you need to vote and bring your friends and neighbors with you.
