The San Marcos CISD board of trustees District 4 and District 5 seats will be up for election in May.

The board approved an order calling for the election during a special meeting Feb. 3.

Two-minute impact

The District 4 seat is currently held by Brian Shanks, who was first elected to the board in 2022.

The District 5 seat is currently held by Clementine Cantu, who also serves as vice president. Cantu was first elected to the board in 2016.


Shanks and Cantu both hold single-member-district seats, meaning only residents living within their districts will be eligible to vote.

Once elected, trustees serve three-year terms.
