In Texas, local school board members are elected by the registered voters within specific school district boundaries. In Crandall ISD, School Board positions are at-large positions, which means that each Trustee represents the entire school district rather than single-member positions that represent a sub-portion of the District. Thus, all Crandall ISD registered voters may vote once for each Place on the ballot. Each Trustee is elected to serve without compensation for terms of three years each.
The next General Trustee Election for Crandall ISD will be held May 2026.

Superintendent: Can answer questions about how schools are operated as well as questions about school district policies. The superintendent is usually responsible for maintaining the official district board policy manual. The superintendent will also know if there are any candidate workshops are available.
Board officers and experienced trustees: Can also answer questions about how schools are operated and can help you understand the inner workings of a school board.
District policy manual: Is a key tool in understanding the requirements imposed by law upon the school district, as well as the paths the board of trustees has chosen within the discretion permitted the board by state and federal law and regulation. If your district has TASB Policy Online, you can easily find your district's policy manual. Simply do an internet search your district's name followed by "policy online". If it does not show up, contact your superintendent's office about where you can find a copy of the policy manual.
