Southeast Bexar County Awareness: Southisde ISD 2015 Elections- Candidate with Credentials

Position 1 on the Southside ISD board is open for election. Currently sitting on the board is Daniel Rodriguez.

Daniel Rodriguez is a former board member of Southside ISD who chose not to run for re-election, but was quickly appointed to the seat when a sitting board member left the board. In order to retain his seat, Mr. Rodriguez must run for election at the earliest voting opportunity.

During his previous term on the board and since returning to the board at Southside ISD, his record shows that he supports whatever his friends on the board support, cut and dry, no questions asked. You can no longer find that information on the schools website, because the new website has removed records from previous boards and maintains mostly the information pertaining to the sitting board.

Southside ISD precincts are scattered throughout the south eastern area of Bexar County, starting at 410 S and into the Wilson and Atascosa County lines that meet up with Bexar County.

Some streets are split into two different precincts making it rather confusing for voters on election day. The key to avoid precinct voting is to vote early. Early voting gives voters more days to vote and locations all over Bexar County to vote in. During early voting, voters are not required to vote in your precinct, if you see a "vote here" sign, voters can simply go in and cast their ballot.

Bexar.org elections information website is currently only giving information for the run off elections, not the school board elections. Voters should not be confused or discouraged, During the month of April you should find a copy of the sample ballot there as well as where your precinct votes on election day.

Precincts:

• 1056
• 1057
• 1058
• 1059
• 1116
• 1124

The Southside school district will hold it's elections on May 9, 2015.

Voter's wishing to vote early may do so at any location that has a "vote here" sign, during the days of April 27, 2105 until May 5, 2015.

Election day voting will take place on May 9, 2015. However, voters will have to go to their precinct to vote. Those that are not sure of where to vote can go to http://apps.bexar.org/ElectionSearch/ElectionSearch.aspx?psearchtab=3 to find out where they can vote.
