Alamo Heights ISD doesn’t frequently have contested races for its school board positions, but this year two incumbents drew challengers amid consternation with its handling of a new “parents’ rights” law.
Some parents took issue with the district’s strict interpretation of state law in a January dispute over an author visit to its elementary schools, and one of those parents is now challenging Place 4 trustee Hunter Kingman in the May 2 school board election.
The seven-member board serves staggered, three-year terms. Two seats are up this year, and races are decided by a plurality vote.
AHISD board members are elected at-large, meaning they each represent the entire school district, as opposed to a specific geographic region.
Early voting runs April 20 through April 28, though polls will be closed on Friday Feb. 24 for the Battle of Flowers Parade. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on election day, Saturday, May 2.
Candidate information comes from candidate websites, filing documents and other sources. Names are listed below in the order they’ll appear on the ballot.
