In an effort to protect the health and safety of voters and election workers, the NISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved orders to postpone the Trustee Election and Bond Election from May 2 to November 3, or earlier if allowed. Due to concerns amid the COVID-19 public health crisis, a disaster proclamation issued by Governor Abbott on March 18 allowed political subdivions to move their previously ordered elections.
