Early voting results for the May 3 election show James Cross and incumbent Lance Redmon are frontrunners for two Katy ISD board of trustees positions, according to KISD data.
The details
Positions 1 and 2 are on the ballot, and four candidates filed for the two positions. Cross is challenging incumbent Victor Perez for Position 1, while Tammy Reed is facing Redmon for Position 2. Kris Fields, a write-in candidate, also ran for Position 2.
In a questionnaire with Community Impact, Cross, a retired KISD principal, said he believed school funding and the teacher shortage are the most pressing issues in the district.
