The Kennedale ISD Board of Trustees consists of seven members, elected to serve by the citizens of KISD, without compensation, to act as our district's policy-making body. Trustees work with the Superintendent and staff to set the direction of the school district, with the education and well-being of the students as its primary focus.
Board members not only represent the public but also translate the needs of the students into policies and goals and strategies that reflect the standards and values of the community as a whole. Following the election, the board elects a president, vice-president, and secretary to serve for a one-year term.
Board of Trustee Places 4 and 5 are up for re-election for the May 3, 2025 election.
