With numerous local elections in cities, towns and school districts, voters will be out in large numbers to select those who will be representing them during the next few years. Social-distancing and mask-wearing will still be in effect in most areas, but at least there’s light at the end of the year-long dark tunnel. As in the past, before the pandemic, local plebiscites will be held on the first Saturday in May. Hence, except for early voting, local elections this year will be held on May 1st. Sheila Taylor is a candidate for Place 2 on the LISD School Board. In the video interview, Ms. Taylor gives viewers some background on her experience in education, including programs targeting bullying and mental health regarding students and educators.
