McKinney ISD board certifies election results and swears in four trustees
Summary
The McKinney Independent School District board canvassed and approved results from the May election and administered oaths to four trustees; the board voted to accept the canvass and recessed to recognitions and other agenda items.
The McKinney Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 12 formally canvassed the results of the district's recent election and swore in four trustees.
The board president announced the certified results and called for a motion to accept them; the motion was seconded and "motion carries," the board recorded. The board then invited Judge Raleigh to administer the oath of office to the newly certified trustees, who took their oaths that evening.
The vote counts and percentages were read into the public record as part of the canvass. The board president read the tallies aloud for the four places then certified by the board. The board then recessed into the evening's recognitions before returning to the remainder of the agenda.
The canvass and oath of office are ministerial steps required after elections; board members present accepted the results and completed the swearing-in ceremony. No amendment or challenge to the canvass was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board subsequently continued with recognitions and later business. The canvass acceptance appeared on the consent/regular portion of the meeting and was handled by voice vote that the presiding officer recorded as carrying.
