Star-Telegram Reports on Keller ISD Board Changes, Voting Rights Act Lawsuit
December 11, 2025 – The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Keller ISD board trustee Charles Randklev is resigning to run for City Council.
According to the report, "Randklev was the school board president when news broke in January that he and four other board members were planning to split the district along U.S. 377 in an effort to save money."
The reporting notes that the controversial plan sparked community outrage, criminal complaints, and legal action. Against this backdrop, the district also faces a Voting Rights Act lawsuit from Brewer Storefront client Claudio Vallejo. The Brewer Storefront, the pro-bono affiliate of Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors, sued the school district on behalf of Vallejo in February 2025, alleging the district’s at-large election system violates the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
In a statement provided to the Star-Telegram, William A. Brewer III, a partner at the Storefront, said there is “growing support” for its lawsuit — reflecting a community demanding fairness in its elections.
“Mr. Randklev’s resignation underscores the instability created by at-large voting and the urgent need to adopt cumulative voting. Keller ISD should see this moment as a wake-up call — an opportunity to embrace change and rebuild public trust,” said Brewer.
