The Mesquite ISD Board of Trustees marked an important moment for the district during its June 8 meeting as newly elected and returning trustees were officially sworn in, beginning a new chapter of leadership.

• Greg Everett was sworn in to continue to serve in Place 4 
• Robert Seward was sworn in to continue to serve in Place 5

Special guest Texas State Representative Rhetta Bowers was on hand to swear in Trustee Morris. She also presented proclamations to the newly elected, re-elected, and outgoing board members. 

At the meeting, the Board also elected officers for the upcoming year. Mr. Seward will once again serve as board president. Greg Everett will serve as vice president, and Kevin Carbo will be the board secretary.

Mesquite ISD congratulates its newly elected and returning trustees and looks forward to the positive impact their leadership will have on students, staff, and families across the district and our community.
