The Klein ISD board of trustees will discuss calling a Nov. 3 election for two of the seven seats on the dais that are approaching their term’s end during the Aug. 10 regular meeting.
What’s happening
Trustees hold their positions for three years with the terms for positions 1 and 2 set to expire in 2026, the seats are currently held by trustees Dustin Qualls and Doug James, respectively. Per meeting documents, the trustee election is estimated to cost the district $415,000 and will be conducted jointly with Harris County following board authorization.
The board will also consider approving modifications to multiple local board policies pertaining to:
- Superintendent nonrenewal reasonings
- Financial ethics
- Employees practices, and standards of conduct
- Personnel
- Gifted and talented students
- Class ranking
- Student safety
- Personal electronic devices
The trustees conducted the first readings of the proposed modifications during the July 13 regular meeting, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Also of note
The board of trustees will consider approving the 33 elementary, 10 intermediate, and five high schools that KISD identified where students residing within two miles would see hazard walking conditions on their way to school. Texas Education Code allows for districts to apply for additional transportation allotments provided by the state intended for students who live within two miles of their school’s campus, and would face hazardous traffic conditions without bus services.

The KISD board of trustees are scheduled to meet Aug. 10 at 6 p.m. in the Boardroom of the Frank A. Lemmon Administration Building located at 7200 Spring Cypress Road, Klein. A livestream option can be found here.
