Summary

Before the board meeting began, NEISD conducted a public ballot draw under Texas Election Code §52.094 to set May ballot order for single‑member districts 3 and 7; SMD 2 is unopposed. Results placed Mike Wolzen first in SMD 3 and Sherry Ettinger first in SMD 7.

A district official conducted a public ballot draw for Northeast Independent School District’s May general election, saying the procedure was required by Texas Election Code §52.094 and was posted on the district website and board bulletin on Feb. 13.

The official said the May 2 general election for single‑member district 2 (SMD 2) was unopposed and therefore no draw was required there. For SMD 3 and SMD 7—each with two filed candidates—the district folded and shuffled labeled tickets and asked volunteers to draw positions.

The official read the results into the record: in SMD 3, Mike Wolzen will appear as ballot place 1 and Diane Skibaville Bridal as place 2; in SMD 7, Sherry Ettinger will be place 1 and Caprice Garcia place 2. The draw was conducted publicly immediately before the board meeting.
