Three unopposed trustees sworn in at Atlanta ISD special meeting
Summary
Atlanta ISD trustees Keri Richardson, Randall Thomason and Lanny Giesler were sworn in May 5, 2026; the board noted all three seats were unopposed and no election was held.
The Atlanta Independent School District Board of Trustees convened a special meeting May 5, 2026, to administer oaths of office to three newly elected trustees. Notary Jennifer Black administered the oaths to Keri Richardson, Randall Thomason and Lanny Giesler after the board called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m.
Board minutes state that "all three places were unopposed, no election was held," meaning the candidates took office without a contested vote. The swearing-in occurred at the start of the special meeting; there was no public comment recorded during the session.
The meeting immediately moved into a closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074 and §551.072, and the board later reconvened to handle organizational business and personnel actions before adjourning at 12:48 p.m.
