Westerman takes Buzan´s seat on Taylor ISD board

May’s meeting of the Taylor Independent School District board came jam-packed with the swearing-in of two trustees, a fond farewell to one and recognitions for students and teachers. Newcomer Rachel Westerman and incumbent board Vice-president Shorty Mitchell, both of whom ran unopposed May 2, were sworn into office Monday evening.

Chief Financial Officer Jina Self also reviewed the district’s financial stewardship with plans to adopt a budget in June.

Meanwhile, newly elected Taylor Mayor Jim Buzan was honored for his school board service during the May 19 meeting. He is required to step down from the board because he now holds another elected office.
