Your vote is your voice!
In the last school election, only approximately 13% of registered voters in our district voted on items that impact our children's education. Sadly, this is not the majority of our community. You can make your voice heard by casting your vote in the upcoming election!
Early voting has already started and will continue until April 30. Election day is May 4.
Voters in Connally ISD will be determining who sits in three seats on our elected Board of Trustees. They will also vote on a bond issue for a proposed new elementary school.
