Place 6 and 7 on the Lake Travis ISD board of trustees will be on the ballot in May following the board’s approval of an order calling for the election during its Jan. 21 meeting.
The gist
Places 6 and 7 are currently held by trustees Robert Aird and Keely Cano, respectively, who were both first elected in 2023. Aird previously served as board vice president, and Cano as board secretary.
District administration has budgeted $75,000 for election costs, which will come from the district’s general operating fund, Chief Financial Officer Pam Sanchez said.
“The election [cost] will depend on how many other municipalities are participating at the same time to reduce our cost,” Sanchez said. “If we’re the lone one, then it could be quite expensive.”
If the place 6 and 7 seats are uncontested the election will be canceled, Sanchez said. Once elected, the trustees will serve three-year terms.
