A complete nomination slate is on the Texas Charter Schools Association’s (TCSA) Quality Portal and electronic voting has begun! The voting portal is open from September 13 through October 3, 2016. Cast your vote today!

To Cast Your Vote

Log into the TCSA Quality Portal. Click on “Membership Voting” (top right hand side of page in red font).

There you will find the nomination slate, candidate campaign videos, candidate biographies, and their school’s profile for your review and consideration.

Note: Once you click the Start Your Vote button, you MUST NOT leave the ballot until you are ready to submit your completed ballot.

Fast Facts on Voting

• The voting page is only accessible to member charters leaders.
• Only the charter leader, or a designated school representative, may cast a vote using the charter leader’s TCSA Quality Portal log-in information.
• If you have forgotten your log-in information, please click on the link titled ‘Forgot Password’ on the TCSA Quality Portal login page to request a reset of your password.
• One charter, one ballot. The voting portal does not allow the submission of more than one ballot.
• Voting is confidential – the system does not track how a particular member school voted.
• Member schools are eligible to vote only for the two membership categories for which they are categorized: 1) Size (Small or Large) and 2) Charter Mission (College Preparatory, Dropout Recovery, Early Childhood and Elementary Education, RTC/JDC, Special Mission, University Charter).

Example:

• Small Schools (enrollment of 1499 or under) will vote for a Small School Representative leadership vacancy (but not a Large School Representative). 
• Large Schools (enrollment of 1500 or more) will vote for a Large School Representative leadership vacancy (but not a Small School Representative).
• RTC/JDC School will vote for a RTC/JDC Representative leadership vacancy (but not for any other charter mission category).

Election Results

The last day to vote will be Monday, October 3, 2016, the first day of the 2016 Texas Charter Schools Conference. TCSA will announce the winners at the Member Council Meeting held at the conference on October 4, 2016 at 12 noon.

Any run-off election will be conducted by paper ballot at the Member Council Meeting at the TCSA Conference. Only charter leaders (or their proxy) who are present may vote in a run-off election. New leadership terms will be effective January 1, 2017.
