001This special meeting of the Wake School Board is called to order at 1:30. All items which may be discussed or voted upon this afternoon have been posted as required by state law. I extend a warm welcome to those present and our television viewers. The board's purpose is to set goals, listen to reports of the superintendent, approve budgets, contracts, and personal appointments, and make policy for the district. We are not here to make management decisions or solve problems of individuals. Management is the responsibility of the superintendent and her staff. I ask that you turn off your cell phone to to silent alert if you have not already done so. We appreciate the time you have taken to join us for your interest in the Waco ID school district. Do we have any public has anyone signed

002up for public speaking? No sir. No sir. All right. So we go to three, right? Yeah. All right. Um consider, discuss, and take appropriate action regarding canvasing the votes from the May 3rd, 2025 board of trustees election. Presenter, Miss Elizabeth Cox. Yes, sir. Good afternoon, uh trustees and Dr. Spicer. On January 23rd, the board ordered a general election for the May 3rd, 2025 election to elect candidates to three-year terms representing District 4 and District 5 on the Waco ISD Board of Trustees. Fast forward a little bit over a month later on February 27th, the board certified the unopposed candidacy for district 5 and ordered a cancellation of that election. Waco ISD contracted with the Mcclennon County Elections Department to to conduct um the District 4 trustee election. And on May 9th, 2025, the early voting

003ballot board met for the final time to complete um the count of the ballots cast. The canvas report, accumulative report, and the precinct results were prepared by Mlennon County Elections, and those were provided to the board for review earlier this week when they were received for the district 4 election between Peaches Henry and Taylor Bledsoe. The results reflect that Peaches Henry received 446 votes. Taylor Bledsoe received 840 votes. Um, the administration recommends that the board complete the canvas and approve the canvas for the May 3rd, 2025 joint election as presented. Just entertain a motion or do I just follow that? Following section 66.004 004 of the Texas election code. Please let the minutes reflect that a quorum of the board members has completed and approved the canvas of the May 3rd, 2025 Wake SD board
