Few candidates have filed for the upcoming November board of trustees elections for Spring and Klein ISDs as the Aug. 18 deadline approaches.
Incumbents Georgan Reitmeier and Steven Smith are the only candidates to file for Positions 1 and 2 respectively, Klein ISD Communications Director Judy Rimato said. Spring ISD Communications Director Karen Garrison said no candidates have filed for the Spring ISD election for Positions 4 and 5, which are held by Rhonda Faust and Rhonda Newhouse respectively.
Candidates for both boards must file their candidacy with the district no later than 5 p.m. Aug. 18. Rimato emphasized the importance of the board of trustees and what the board means to Klein ISD, citing an except from a January school board meeting that honored the board members.
"Whether the work involves stretching the district's dollars as far as humanly possible, taking the time to understand complicated legislation affecting our schools, or speaking up to help community members see the vision of what can be provided for our children—it takes both the heart and the hands to make a valuable school board member in the Klein ISD community," part of the excerpt stated.
