Board members in PISD serve four-year overlapping terms and are not subject to term limits. While candidates run for specific seats, each trustee represents the entire school district, and candidates are elected by voters districtwide.
Early voting for the May 1 election is scheduled to take place April 19-27.
The list below includes the names of candidates who applied to run by the Feb. 12 filing deadline.
Current board President Tammy Richards said last month she would not be seeking re-election to the Place 1 position. Grace Chaves initially filed for Place 2 but withdrew from the race Feb. 19.
