Board members in MISD serve two-year, staggered terms and are not subject to term limits. Candidates for places 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are elected by voters who reside in that specific subdistrict. Places 6 and 7 are elected at large by voters across the school district.

After elections are finalized and results are canvassed, the MISD school board trustees elect a president, vice president and secretary to one-year terms.


Early voting runs from April 19-27. Election day is May 1.
