Olivares Edges Handy, Torres Wins Handily in S-T ISD Trustee Election

Saturday's S-T ISD Trustee & Bond Election proved once more that every single vote counts. Incumbent Rick Olivares edged newcomer Robert Handy by a narrow margin of 323 to 311 votes while David Torres Sr. racked up an impressive 459 votes. Vote counts have yet to be officially verified pending canvassing on May 24th. A $2.2 million Capital Improvements Program was also approved by a 326 - 253 vote opening the door to construction of a new career and technology center, elementary P.E. pavilion, new science classroom, health classroom, and nurse's clinic. Other miscellaneous improvements are included in the program.
