Rumor Circulating That Several Local Candidates For Office In Fort Bend Elections Have Requested State Monitors For May 14th Ballot Measures!

This just in from the "FBISD Concerns" facebook page. Several posts emanating from facebook pages seem to support a rumor that an official petition has been issued to the Texas Secretary of States office election division requesting election monitors for the May 14th ballot. The public post in question has appeared on several well visited sites and states, "FYI: Confirmation that a petition request has been sent to the TX secretary of states election division requesting state election inspectors to monitor the 40+ polling stations for next Saturdays election here in our county (Specifically FBISD, Sugar Land & Missouri City stations). Apparently 4 of the requesters are current candidates in school board races and city council races from our area. Several other candidates are also supporting the requests for monitoring this cycle."

We will update this once it has been confirmed via local media and/or other sources.

FBISDWatch Endorses Watassek & Albright In Board Races!

Due to their concern over authentic and long-term budget challenges impacting the FBISD school system under the current school leadership over the last 5 years, FBISDWatch is officially supporting Bruce Albright for the at large trustee seat and Wade Watassek for the position 1 trustee seat. These selections were made after consultation with the watch election committee. No selection was made in the position 5 race due to several issues that were never addressed by either candidate Dr. Taylor or Dr. Reynolds. We would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to get out to early voting which began today and runs through May 10, with election day coming May 14th...stay informed and keep in touch!
