What to know
The board of trustees is comprised of community members who are elected to serve three-year terms without pay. CISD board members are elected at-large for specific places on the board.
In CISD, trustee places 1, 2 and 3 are up for re-election and are held by trustees Leigh Walker, Manish Sethi and Anthony Hill, respectively. Sethi did not file for re-election.
Place 1 incumbent Walker, a board member since 2016, has filed for candidacy and will face challenger Sheri Hill.
Coppell residents Jonathan Powers and Julie Waters have filed for Place 2 election. Resident Kevin Chaka withdrew from the Place 2 race Feb. 11, according to the district website.
Place 3 incumbent Anthony Hill, no relation to Sheri Hill, filed for re-election and has served on the board since 2007. Hill has no challenger, as of the late afternoon Feb. 14.
Last May election, LISD transitioned to a hybrid election system where trustee places 1 through 5 became single-member districts, and places 6 and 7 became at-large. The change to single-member districts means only residents in the corresponding geographical area can vote for members running for the respective place. The places that are at-large can be voted on irrespective of a voter’s area of residence.
In LISD, District 2 incumbent Katherine Sells, District 3 incumbent Jenny Proznik and at-large Place 7 incumbent Sheila Taylor have filed for re-election.
Sells, a trustee since 2016, currently serves as the board vice-president and is running unopposed.
Proznik has also been a board member since 2016 and serves as board president. Proznik is also running without a challenger.
Taylor has served on the school board since 2022. Lewisville residents Trista Willeford and Ryan Echols have filed to challenge Taylor for the at-large Place 7 position.
