Humble ISD accused of violating Voting Rights Act in lawsuit filed by former teacher
The lawsuit demands that the Houston-area district adopt single-member voting districts to ensure Hispanic voters and other ethnic minorities have equitable representation on the school board. Humble ISD uses an at-large system and has five white trustees and two Black trustees in a district where 38% of students are Hispanic.
