Previous Recent Election Results
The swearing-in for Place 4 has been postponed pending the outcome of a petition for a recount. Candidate Tyler Beeson filed a petition May 17 for a recount of the results for the HPISD Board of Trustees Place 4 position. The recount process will take place Thursday, May 26, 2022 and will be conducted in accordance with the State of Texas election law procedures to request and conduct a recount. Only persons specifically permitted to attend by law may be in the room where the recount is taking place as outlined on page 9 of the Texas Procedures to Request and Conduct a Recount process, which is posted below.
Dallas County Elections office recount process of the HPISD Place 4 Trustee election that began May 26 in response to a petition filed by candidate Tyler Beeson has been completed. Once the review of mail-in ballots was completed, Beeson requested that the recount committee cease the process. Unofficial election results published by Dallas County Elections office earlier this month remain unchanged.
 
HPISD Place 4 incumbent Jae Elis will take the oath of office at the June 14 meeting.
Highland Park ISD voters elected Jae Ellis, Ellen Lee and Bryce Benson to serve on the Board of Trustees in yesterday's election. All three will serve three-year terms until May 2025.
