Approval To Cast Votes For Cassandra Auzenne Bandy For Membership On The Board Of Directors Of The Harris Central Appraisal District
body
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is one of the taxing units which can make nominations and vote for the Board of Directors of the Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD). The current HCAD board member terms expire on December 31, 2024.
Under changes made by Senate Bill 2 in 2023 during the 88th second special session, HISD may no longer directly appoint a member to the HCAD board. Instead, each taxing unit which can make nominations for the HCAD board may nominate up to five candidates. The HISD School Board voted to nominate Cassandra Auzenne Bandy on September 12, 2024. HISD submitted the candidate name and the nominating resolution to the HCAD chief appraiser before October 15, 2024.
HCAD prepared a voting ballot and sent it to the presiding officer of the governing body of each taxing unit that is entitled to vote. HISD must submit the certified resolution and certification of ballot to the HCAD chief appraiser within three days after the vote.
A resolution to cast all HISD votes for Cassandra Auzenne Bandy to hold a position on the HCAD Board of Directors is attached.
