The Gladewater ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on May 12, 2026, to adopt orders canvassing the returns and declaring the results of two elections held May 2, 2026: a bond election and the School Board general election. The special meeting began at 6:00 p.m. at the Gladewater Administration Office; six trustees were present and one (Ross Morgan) was absent.
The Board reviewed paper copies of the election returns before taking formal action.
