The Highland Park ISD Board of Trustees elected three new trustees on May 1, as voters elected Doug Woodward, Maryjane Bonfield and Bryce Benson to serve on the board.
Both Bonfield and Benson ran unopposed for Place 2 and Place 3, while it was a tight race between Kelli Macatee and Woodward for Place 1. The Place One election resulted in a 58% vote for Woodward and 41% vote for Macatee.
Woodward and Bonfield will serve three-year terms, while Benson will serve a one-year term.
Place 1 Trustee-elect Woodward replaces former Board President Jim Hitzelberger who is retiring after serving four three-year terms on the board.
Place 2 Trustee-elect Bonfield replaces former Board Secretary Lee Michaels who served two three-year terms. Trustee-elect Benson will fill the unexpended one-year term created when former Board Vice-president Kelly Walker chose to retire from community service last December.
The Trustees will be sworn into office during the next School Board meeting on Tuesday, May 18.
