The Arlington Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 14 approved the official canvass of results from the May 3 trustee election, confirming winners for Places 4 and 5 and voting unanimously to accept Tarrant Countye2 c's reported totals.
The Arlington Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 14, 2025, unanimously approved the official canvass of results from the May 3 trustee election, confirming the winners for Place 4 and Place 5.
Dr. Collins presented Tarrant County election administration reports to the board, saying the county's records list David Wilbanks receiving 5,145 votes and April Williams Moore receiving 4,257 votes in the race for Place 4. The transcripted reading of the Place 5 total for Justin Choppa was unclear in the meeting record; the board approved the canvass based on the county's official reports.
The board took the approval action when Trustee Ms. Haynes moved to accept the election results and a second was provided by Mr. Mike. President Chapa called the vote; all trustees present voted in the affirmative and the motion carried. The board noted that, under state law, a decision of this type can be made without a full quorum; three trustees were present for the action.
No members of the public registered to speak for agenda items or nonagenda items at the May 14 meeting, and the board adjourned at 9:02 a.m. after completing the canvass.
The canvass accepted two official Tarrant County documents: a cumulative report of early and election day votes and a precinct report by polling location. The board record does not include additional discussion of recounts, challenges, or certification steps beyond the formal approval of the canvass.
