Stribling was elected to serve on the GISD school board for Place 1 in May 2013 and has served as the board president since 2019. He is stepping down to continue the district's history of strong and well-done transitions of power between board presidents, he said. Stribling will serve out his term on the board to help McFarland transition and keep the district's stability, he said.
All board members voted in favor of Stribling's nomination, and McFarland will now run board meetings, effective immediately. Stribling also said that he will not run for re-election in May 2022.
McFarland was elected to serve on the board in May 2019 for Place 2. She founded McFarland Legacy Law in Georgetown and works as an estate planning and business attorney. She has lived in Georgetown for 15 years with her husband and four children.
“There is great momentum in the work happening in GISD, and serving on the GISD board of trustees is an honor,” McFarland said. “While Scott is leaving big shoes to fill, I am excited at the opportunity to lead this board moving forward and grateful for his leadership and support.”
