Round Rock ISD voters on Tuesday elected two new trustees, and rejected Proposition A, which would have added $15 million to the district’s operating budget and would have made possible a 2% raise for all eligible teachers and staff. 

According to unofficial results, the measure passed in Travis County with 50.5% of the vote, but failed in Williamson County, earning only 47% approval. The combined results show the measure failed overall, with 47.7% in favor to 52.30% opposed. 

“Thank you to the voters and our partners in Round Rock ISD who supported our teachers and staff,” said Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez. “This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, and we know the amazing educators in our district share our disappointment. We will continue to work hard to support all students and staff in Round Rock ISD.”

The 2026 VATRE would have raised approximately $30 million in additional tax revenue for the district, with roughly half of that taken by the state under the recapture system. The remaining $15 million would have increased compensation and addressed salary compression throughout the district. 

With the failure of Prop A, staff and teachers not included in the Teacher Retention Allotment will not receive a raise. This includes no step raises for teachers not already receiving a pay increase through the Teacher Retention Allotment. The district also will not increase its contribution to employee health care; that amount will remain at $466 per employee per month.

Trustee elections

Round Rock ISD voters also elected two new trustees, according to unofficial results from the county elections offices. Four seats were open on the board, with Pres. Alicia Markum unopposed in Place 4. 

In Place 3, incumbent and Amber Landrum faced Gregory Andrew, Ayaan Moledina and Vera Southwell. Moledina, a former student in the district, earned 40.8% of the vote to oust Landrum, who earned 24.6%. Gregory Andrew finished third, with 21.6% of the vote, and Vera Southwell finished fourth, with 13%. 

Two candidates sought the seat of longtime Place 5 trustee Amy Weir, who announced earlier this year that she would not seek a third term. Meghna Roy will succeed her, winning the vote with 55.4%. Her challenger, Miriam Arora, received 44.6% of the vote. 

For the Place 6 seat, incumbent Fabian Cuero defeated challenger Troy Evanovich to earn his first full term on the board. Cuero was appointed in 2025 after former trustee and board president Tiffanie N. Harrison stepped down to spend more time with her family. Cuero earned 62% of the vote to Evanovich’s 38%. 

The Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees has seven members, each elected at-large to serve staggered four-year terms. Results are unofficial until votes are canvassed at a special board meeting Nov. 16. New trustees will be sworn in and seated by the next regular board meeting Nov. 19.
