Summary
The Sweetwater Independent School District Board of Trustees formally accepted the canvass of the May 2, 2026 trustee election at a special called meeting May 7, voting 5-0 after the vice president read matching totals from early‑voting and election‑day tapes.
The Sweetwater Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 5-0 on May 7, 2026, to accept the canvass of the May 2 trustee election after Board Vice‑President Dennis Cumbie read the vote totals from the early‑voting and election‑day tapes and announced they matched the Canvass Report. Trustee Domingo Castillo made the motion to accept the canvass report; Trustee Brenda Valdez seconded, and the motion passed with Castillo, Cumbie, Kelly Sheridan, Tasha Soto and Valdez voting in favor.
The special called meeting began at 8:30 AM at the district Administration Building, 207 Musgrove St., Sweetwater. The board recorded members present as Domingo Castillo, Dennis Cumbie, Kelly Sheridan, Brenda Valdez, Tasha Soto and Reggy Spencer; Jeff Allen and Mark Garcia were listed as absent. Staff or others present included Ann Allen and Krystal Woolard. No members of the public were present for the public forum, and the board noted no emailed requests for statements.
The acceptance of the canvass constitutes the board's formal acknowledgement that the reported totals match the election tapes; the transcript records the board's action but does not list the numerical vote totals in the meeting minutes. The meeting adjourned at 8:32 AM.
