The board of trustees unanimously approved an order calling for the election during its regular Jan. 27 meeting.
The details
The District 4 seat is currently held by Byron Severance, who also serves as vice president. Severance was first elected to the board in 2022.
The District 5 seat is currently held by Esperanza Orosco. Orosco was first elected to the board in 2016 and has previously served as president, vice president and secretary.
Severance and Orosco have both filed for reelection.
Something to note
HCISD trustees serve three-year terms. Of the seven trustees, five are elected from single-member districts and two are elected at-large.
Severance and Orosco both hold single-member-district seats, meaning only residents living within their districts will be eligible to vote.
