Mexia ISD board certifies election, names Cedrick Gamble and Melvalynn Jones to Places 4 and 5
Summary
At a called meeting May 12, 2026, the Mexia ISD Board of Trustees certified the school district's election, declaring Cedrick Gamble elected to Place 4 and Melvalynn Jones elected to Place 5; no public comments were recorded and the board adjourned after a 3-0 vote.
The Board of Trustees of Mexia ISD met in a called canvass meeting on May 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at the district administration building and certified the May election results, declaring Cedrick Gamble elected to Place 4 and Melvalynn Jones elected to Place 5.
The minutes state that “The Board of Trustees officially finds, determines and declares the results of the election to be that CEDRICK GAMBLE has been elected to Place 4 on the MISD Board of Trustees and MELVALYNN JONES has been elected to Place 5 on the MISD board of Trustees.” The record does not show a recorded roll-call vote on the canvass itself in the minutes text.
Vice President Jackie Craig opened the meeting at 5:00 p.m.; Dr. Bill Lowry led the pledges and John Bonner led the invocation. The board noted three members were present. The minutes list Marty Cargile, Bud Shamblin and Ron Fowler as absent.
No members of the public signed up to speak during the recognized open forum. After the canvass, John Bonner moved to adjourn; Dr. Bill Lowry seconded and the motion passed 3-0. The meeting ended at 5:07 p.m.
Note on recordkeeping: the minutes identify John Bonner as leading the invocation and making the motion to adjourn. A signature block at the end of the minutes appears to read “Ron Fowler, Board President” and “Jane John Bonner, Board Secretary,” which creates an internal inconsistency in the transcription of the secretary’s name; the minutes text used earlier in the record refers to “John Bonner.”
