The Killeen Independent School board of trustees holds the ultimate decision-making authority for a district charged with educating some 45,000 students, many of whom are military affiliated.
In two short weeks, the school board could find itself with two new voices of influence if voters show up to the polls in the upcoming May 1 election.
Four people are running for two seats on the KISD board of trustees. Lan Carter is running against incumbent board President JoAnn Purser for the Place 7 school board seat. Riakos âRockâ Adams is taking on Cullen Mills for the Place 6 seat, currently held by board member Minerva Trujillo, who is not running for reelection.
