Brackett ISD board orders May 3, 2025 election; approves equipment rental and staffing costs
Summary
Trustees recommended calling the May 3, 2025 school board general election, approved renting three voting units from Kinney County for $2,965 (04/18/2025–05/05/2025), appointed an election judge and alternate, and set pay rates for election workers ($12/hour judge, $11/hour clerks).
The board reviewed and approved multiple items to prepare for the Brackett ISD general election scheduled for May 3, 2025.
Agency official (S4) cited Texas Election Code timing and recommended the administration call the election and rent voting equipment from Kinney County. S4 said the district will need three units—one for early voting, one for election day, and one touchscreen for ADA compliance—and recommended renting equipment for two weeks (04/18/2025–05/05/2025) at a cost of $2,965.
Trustees moved to accept the administration's recommendations and the motions passed. S4 also recommended appointing Ida Ortiz as election judge and Luisa Jacqueline Padillo as alternate; the appointments were approved without recorded opposition. For miscellaneous election costs, the administration recommended paying election judges $12 per hour and election clerks $11 per hour, aligned with Kinney County and the City of Brackenville; trustees approved those rates.
A trustee asked for clarification about the $2,965 rental fee and the equipment schedule; S4 confirmed the rental covers the full period. The board recorded motions and approvals for equipment rental, judge appointments, and miscellaneous election costs on the record.
