BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Among three people running for Place 2 on Bryan ISD’s Board of Trustees, incumbent Julie Harlin came out on top.

“I am humbled and honored that our voters in Place 2 have chosen me to continue to serve Bryan ISD as a member of the Board of Trustees,” Harlin said in a statement to KBTX on Tuesday night.
She added that she looks forward to continuing the great work in the school district alongside the superintendent and board of trustees to benefit the students, staff, and community.
Bryan ISD’s At-Large Place 6 seat was also on the ballot. Joel Bryan ran unopposed and will now serve the three-year term.
