NOTE: This certification of candidates is unrelated to the March 3, 2026 primary election, which includes party voting for offices in Burnet and Llano counties.
The Marble Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees certified two unopposed candidates for two open seats on the school board in the upcoming May 2 election at a regular meeting on the evening of Monday, Feb. 23. The two candidates were effectively appointed to their respective seats, which they will take the day after the election on May 3.
Incumbent Mandy McCary was the only candidate that filed to run for Place 3, and incumbent Larry Berkman was the only candidate for Place 4. So long as neither candidate withdraws their candidacy, McCary and Berkman will begin serving their three-year terms starting on May 3.
Though there will be no section on the May 2 ballot for these seats due to the candidates being unopposed, two contested races for Place 1 and Place 3 on Marble Falls City Council will highlight the ballot.
The MFISD Board of Trustees is made up of seven total members who are elected by residents of the district. These are unpaid, volunteer positions. The members serve three-year, staggered terms.
While the day-to-day operations of the district are handled by the superintendent, the board of trustees is responsible for hiring the superintendent, setting policies, setting the tax rate, creating the district budget, and collaborating with district administration.
