This week, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0832 (2011) was issued on "Whether the Edgewood Independent School District may change the date of its general election for school trustees to the uniform election date set by statute in May of odd-numbered years."

The Summary to the Opinion stated,

"Through Election Code section 41.0052, the Legislature has prohibited a school district from changing the date for general elections of officers to a date other than the November uniform election date. Edgewood Independent School District therefore may not move its general election date to the uniform election date in May at this time."
