Keller ISD Board Approves Election Services Agreement with Tarrant County Elections

The Keller Independent School District (Keller ISD) Board convened on March 31, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of a joint election agreement and updates on upcoming policies and events.

The meeting began with the board discussing item 11g from the consent agenda, which involved the approval of a joint election agreement and contract for election services with the Tarrant County Elections Administration for the upcoming board of trustees election scheduled for May 3, 2025. The agreement outlines a significant change in how costs are shared among participating entities, now based on the number of registered voters rather than the number of polling places. This shift is expected to increase Keller ISD's election costs by approximately 45%, amounting to an additional $31,498.17 compared to previous years. The board unanimously approved the motion to enter into the agreement.

Following the election discussion, the board previewed proposed revisions to several local board policies, aimed at aligning with changes in state and federal law. These revisions will be considered in detail at a future meeting.

In the work session, Dr. Wilson reminded attendees of important upcoming dates, including the last day to register to vote on April 3, early voting from April 22 to April 29, and the next board meeting on April 24. He also highlighted the graduation ceremonies scheduled for May 24 across the district's four campuses.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed unanimously. The board's discussions emphasized the importance of community engagement in the upcoming elections and the need for ongoing policy updates to ensure compliance with legal standards.
