Kyle Renard was a candidate for District 1 representative on the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees in Texas. She ran for the seat in the general election on May 9, 2015. She lost the election.

"This is a tool the school districts can use to keep our children safe in the school environment". This important collaboration between County and City school boards is just one of many initiatives Kyle implemented, leading the way for better schools in Dallas.	”
