KELLER ISD trustees reorganize leadership; John Burt elected president in 4–3 vote
Summary
After an executive session on officer appointments, the KELLER ISD board elected John Burt president (4–3), Heather Washington vice president (reported majority) and Randy Campbell secretary (7–0).
After returning from executive session, the KELLER ISD Board of Trustees held the required open nominations and votes to elect board officers.
Dr. Wilson presided over nominations for president. Trustee Heather Washington nominated John Burt; another trustee nominated Chelsea Kelly. The board voted and the motion electing John Burt as board president carried 4–3, as announced by the presiding officer.
The board then considered vice president. Trustees nominated Heather Washington and Chelsea Kelly; the motion electing Heather Washington as vice president passed by a majority (reported in the transcript as 4–3).
For the office of secretary, trustees nominated Randy Campbell; that motion passed unanimously, 7–0.
Why it matters: Officer elections determine who presides over future meetings and sets committee assignments and procedural priorities. The close votes for president and vice president reflect divisions among trustees following the recent election and public-comment pressure earlier in the meeting.
The board adjourned shortly after reorganizing. The board’s actions were procedural and took place in open session after a closed deliberation permitted under the Texas Open Meetings Act.
