Board accepts certification of unopposed candidates but declines order to cancel election
Summary
Trustees accepted certification of unopposed candidates and separately declined to approve an order to cancel the general election; both motions carried 6-0, and the minutes do not list individual vote roll calls or names of the unopposed candidates.
Board members accepted a certification from the authority that prepares election ballots and then considered a separate agenda item about ordering cancellation of the general election.
Trustee Tonya Becker moved to accept the 'CERTIFICATION OF UNOPPOSED CANDIDATES' for the Big Spring ISD general election; Trustee Bert Otto seconded and the motion carried 6-0. On the related agenda item to 'Order the Cancellation of General Election and Declare Unopposed Candidates Elected' Trustee Bert Otto moved to decline approval of the Order of Cancellation; Trustee Julie Harris seconded and the motion carried 6-0. The minutes do not list the names of the unopposed candidates in the motion text nor a roll-call tally by member.
The minutes record acceptance of the certification and a separate decision not to approve the cancellation order. No implementation steps, dates, or legal citations beyond the agenda language are provided in the minutes.
