What you need to know: The GCISD board of trustees named Adams as the lone finalist during the May 22 meeting. He will replace Rick DeMasters, who was named the interim superintendent after former Superintendent Brad Schnautz resigned.

Adams has 28 years of experience in education as a teacher, principal and administrator.

What they're saying: “The board of trustees is thrilled to unanimously welcome Adams to our district,” Board President Dalia Begin said in a May 22 news release. “Throughout this process, his outstanding commitment to students and clear vision for educational excellence truly stood out. We are confident he will build strong relationships with our students, staff, families and community as we work together to provide exceptional opportunities for every child.”

What’s next: Under state law, the hire cannot be approved by trustees until after a 21-day waiting period. The board is expected to approve the hire at its June 15 meeting.

A new $130 million East Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Station was unveiled at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on May 11.

The station is part of the DFW Forward capital improvement plan, a $12 billion project that will update many portions of the airport that opened 51 years ago, according to the airport website.

The East facility, commonly referred to as ARFF, is the first part of combining four stations into two.

A closer look: J.E. Dunn Construction and PGAL are behind the design-build partnership for the ARFF projects.

The new East Station has 10 apparatus bays, 21 dorm rooms, a dedicated training and fitness space, a support area for hazardous material, decontamination and equipment storage, and includes an F5-rated storm shelter, according to a news release.

Also of note: During the May 7 DFW Airport board of directors meeting, three ARFF contracts were awarded.

Oncor is providing and installing the necessary electric service infrastructure for both of the new ARFF stations for $1.27 million.

In addition, three new vehicles were approved for purchase.

Dozens of federal, state and local primary campaigns will come to a close May 26 as Texas voters cast ballots in the Republican and Democratic runoff elections.

How it works: Texas held its primary elections in March, with some races advancing to an overtime round, known as a runoff, after no single candidate picked up more than half of the vote.

On May 26, voters may see statewide offices, state legislative seats, redrawn congressional districts, the State Board of Education and county-level positions on their ballots. The winner of each runoff race will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

At the polls: Polling places across Texas will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. May 26. Voters in the following counties in Community Impact’s coverage areas can vote at any polling location within their county of residence: Bastrop, Bexar, Brazoria, Brazos, Collin, Comal, Fort Bend, Galveston, Guadalupe, Harris, Hays, Tarrant, Travis and Williamson.
