Los Fresnos CISD trustees Leonel Garza, Sandra Garcia and Darlene Pederson were sworn into office for new three-year terms at a special called Board of Trustees meeting Monday.

Each was sworn into office by Migdalia Lopez, 197th District Judge. The votes of the Nov. 3 election were canvassed and the results of the election were declared. Garza, Pederson and Garcia were re-elected.

Trustees also agreed to leave the board officers the same. Pederson is Board President, Ruben Trevino is Vice-President, Jesus Amaya Secretary and Garza Assistant Secretary.

In other action, trustees approved substantial completion of the Los Fresnos United Ninth Grade Campus Gym/Safe Room Alternate #1, and approved additional district personnel to the 2015-16 Language Proficiency Assessment Committees (LPAC).
