Princeton Independent School District Trustees Carlos Cuellar and Duane Kelly have been confirmed for new terms after the school board canvassed results of the Tuesday, Nov. 5, general election. 

They were joined by new Trustee Bianca Washington, who succeeds Bob Lovelady, who did not seek re-election to the seat he has held since 2012.

Amy Ivy, administrative assistant to the superintendent, swore in the trustees at the board’s regular meeting Monday, Nov. 18.

There were three at-large seats open and six candidates on the Nov. 5 ballot. The three candidates with the most votes were elected to three-year terms.
