What you need to know
The deadline for a school bond election to be called and appear on the Nov. 5 ballot is Aug. 19. Trustees have until that time to call a bond election once amounts for the proposed projects and propositions have been set. Otherwise, the district's next opportunity to call a bond election will be for the May election cycle.
In addition to considering whether to call a bond, the board will vote on a measure to call a trustee election.
The terms for places 1, 2 and 7 on the RRISD board of trustees will expire in November. These seats are occupied by Place 1 trustee Chuy Zárate, Place 2 trustee Mary Bone and Place 7 trustee Danielle Weston.
The filing window to appear on the ballot in the 2024 election will close Aug. 19 at 5 p.m., per the Texas Secretary of State's Office.
