Why does the LPE ISD need to hold a Special Election?  Because only one individual of the current LPE ISD Board and no new candidates submitted their documentation to the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections office prior to the deadline to be placed on the General Election ballot. Once the current LPE ISD Board member’s terms expire this November, there will not be an official quorum of the board to legally conduct the business of the LPE ISD.  Only Governor DeSantis can fill those empty seats to bridge the gap from the current end of terms until the Special Election.  The LPE Civic Association will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available from the LPE ISD and the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections office.
