Candidates file for school board election

ELLIS COUNTY – It is time to gear up for another election on May 1, 2021 for not only city council seats and props, but also for open school board trustee seats. 

While there are a number of cities in Ellis County as well as ISD boards, there are only four cities with school board elections in May.
