2026 Texas May Uniform Election

Supports maintaining local control of the curriculum and opposes statewide required reading lists.

Wants a "factually-correct curriculum that is not ideologically framed."

Supports the separation of church and state.

Thinks that parents, not the state, should be in charge of their own children's religious education.

Would vote against book censorship and says, "we already have a system that allows parents to control which library material their child can access. The views of a single parent should not dictate what material the entire district can access."

Believes teachers and librarians should not fear "being the next target of controversy."

- A trustee is an elected member of a local school board who helps govern a public school district.

- Trustees represent community interests and are responsible for setting policies that guide how the school district operates.

- The board of trustees hires and evaluates the superintendent, who manages the day-to-day operations of the district.

- Trustees approve the district’s budget, monitor spending, and may set the local tax rate or call for bond elections to fund schools.

- The board also oversees educational programs, district goals, and overall performance.

- In Texas, trustees are elected to four-year terms, often on a rotating basis, so not all seats are elected at the same time.

- Trustees serve without financial compensation.
