The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees met in closed session this morning to interview five applicants for the open at-large seat on the Lubbock ISD board. Trustees returned to open session four hours later and voted 6-0 to appoint Zach Brady to the vacancy.
The parent of two Lubbock ISD students, Brady is an attorney, small business owner, and both of his parents were public school educators. Brady will serve until the next regular board election on May 5, 2018, when voters will select a candidate to fill the remainder of the unexpired term, which ends in May 2020.
Board Vice President Laura Vinson said, “We had outstanding candidates for this position and were pleased to see the sincere interest in serving the students of Lubbock ISD. I look forward to working with Zach and know his background will make him a great asset to our board.” Brady will be sworn in as a trustee at board meeting in the near future.
