Seven Spots on TX State Education Board To Hit 2024 Ballot

[RandySF]

Seven of the 15 spots on the Texas State Board of Education, the state’s primary means for setting policies and standards for the public school system, are set to appear on the general election ballot in November 2024 – but not before key spots are determined during the primary election.

In North Texas, Districts 11 (Fort Worth) and 12 (Fairview) will see Republican incumbent members Pat Hardy and Pam Little challenged in the primary election in March. They both are expected to be joined by Democratic opponents on the ballot, as well.

The District 10 primary election, a seat associated with Florence, north of Austin, will also see primary competition coming up the Republican incumbent, Tom Maynard.

The SBOE recently saw a shakeup at the top with Gov. Greg Abbott-appointed District 15 Member Aaron Kinsey as chair early this month, replacing District 9 Member Keven Ellis, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

1. If Texas has any hope of getting out of the dark ages we have to stop

putting in these right-wingers in charge of our education system. They are pushing things like Prager U and advocate book banning and replacing anyone that challenges their control.
