001I call this meeting to order of the Northwest Independent School District to order at 7:44. Let record show their record of board members is present. This meeting has been due to the call and notice that this meeting has been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Committees Act, Texas Government Code 551. Uh, next up, close session, which we do not need to go into. So third on the agenda is public comments on agenda items and there are none which brings us up to item four canvas of May 3rd 2025 board of trustees general election returns. All right board we are here tonight to finalize our election return and as required in your packet it starts with our summary page of all the votes. Next you'll find the documents we'll be signing or M schools will
002be signing at the end of tonight's canvas. After that are the county reports. Um each county is paper clipped together and we start with the cumulative. So like the summary is on top and then precinct by precinct reports are after that. Your charge tonight is to go through and compare and make sure our precinct reports cumulative reports that our numbers match. We have gone through it and checked it and double checked it, but um we can take a few minutes now for you to clear these numbers. You might see that some of the numbers have adjusted. Our final results tonight include provisional ballots, overseas ballots. So Denton and Tarant County both changed. We had no changes in White County. So um by people uh Mr. Wash received two more votes and Judy received two more
003votes. [Music] Hey, Miss Scott, how far your face? No, I just live vicariously through [Music] sh future generation. So that's probably better. [Music] Come here. [Music] Hey, Miss Scott. Just curious on the um talks about registered voters. So for Taran County it says 1537 of 46,700ish voted. Is that 1537 within Northwest ISD or is that all of T? It varies by campus or I'm sorry by campus by county. Um so I'm looking at that top right corner right here of the county ones. Is that just for voters for Northwest ISB? So it's showing yes 3.29% 29% of voters in Taran County registered Taran County that could vote for Northwest ISD still voted. So what it's showing Northwest ISD Tarant County voters are the 46,787 number. So of that the um 1537 people voted who are
004eligible to vote. Okay. Wise County I believe is the county that's different. It shows the county total if you look at some of their numbers. So you'll need to refer to this top sheet to get our registered numbers. Okay. Thank you. That's one thing that has changed. If you were looking at election night reporting, too, election night, we count votes cast. We don't have the ballot numbers. So now that we have the um counting information, we have the number of ballots in. So if you're looking at any of those totals, um they've now changed to actual the number of ballots. Got it. Not just Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. 3.92% of Taran County voters. That's I knew they didn't vote, but that's that's pathetic. It is. We got to get them engaged more in the
005elections. So the rest of them are reviewing. They have already done their reviewing. I want to make a motion. If somebody wants a second after everybody else is three, that's I move to approve the canvas of the May 3rd, 2025 general election for the board of trustees. I'll second and I'll read that here in a second. Y'all just let me know when you're when y'all are ready. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] here. I do have a question. So, did you use AI to back check any of these numbers to scan them in and have it recalculate and estimate? We don't. now, but there is a um I forget the term. We contract with the counties. So, there is reporting that they have to do with the state that is a it's like a partial manual count.
006And at one point in time, we were responsible doing for doing some of those and really all of it's doing is taking these and looking at the numbers. But the county does they are required to go through and check I think is it covering things or there's there's a certain number of sections that they are required to go back and double check to make sure things are looking like they are on track. I assume you know everything from the the ballots are cast and everything is electronic up until that point and then those numbers are delivered. I just wanted if something electronic is done to fill in there like a spreadsheet and there's a spreadsheet rescan and something like a notebook LM and AI model comes back in and says yeah this thing looks good.
007You don't not to I would have to check with county. I don't know. I was kind of curious. I'd be kind of curious to see how it would analyze percentage wise and wise. I was trying to find out where a certain precinct was. And so I Googled to see, you know, like a certain area precinct. Is there a way to go look that up in the I guess the county website? The county website has the principle up if you're trying to find a particular location. Okay. And then it'll have it back. I put my address in but it didn't come up just to see if I could find out. Um that would be nice. You're looking for a certain location. It would be to look at that map and target it. Um each county does
008provide um you know like the voter lookup type information when you're trying to find your ballot, but you usually have to have your data to input in. So I don't if you had an address if you might be able to find just a precinct. Yeah. In the election results for Taran and Venton County, if you go to the race, there's a way to there's like a map icon right above it. If you click on that, it kind of shows a very small map that's colorcoded by precinct and which candidate won. So, you can pull that up and it'll kind of show you, but it doesn't really show you good details. It kind of gives you a generalization what part of town it's in. But, but that would be good because you sort of see what
009Okay, that's good. That'd be good. You know, West County doesn't have that kind of sophistication on their website yet for it. So, but the the numbers in West County are so so low. Anyway, we all ready? Okay. I have a motion by Mr. Swer and a second by Mrs. Murphy to approve the candidacy of the May 3rd, 2025 general election for the board of trustees. Any questions, discussions? All in favor? Okay. 6. Thank you. And Dr. Brush move it.
