Trustees voted April 16 to postpone the election, following similar actions by other local school districts and municipalities.
The May 2 election is now scheduled for the November 3 general election.
“[This is] what we’ve gotten as a suggestion from our attorneys,” said Tamra Spence, communications officer for PfISD.
Two seats on the PfISD Board of Trustees—Places 6 and 7—were up for grabs this election cycle. Four candidates had filed for the position, including Place 6 incumbent Larry Bradley. Rob Reyes, who currently holds Place 7, had not filed for re-election in May.
Reyes and Bradley will both remain on the board to serve through November following the vote tonight.
Gov. Greg Abbott in March issued an emergency proclamation temporarily suspending parts of the state's election code, opening the door for local municipalities and school districts to postpone their scheduled May elections.
