The Carroll ISD board of trustees approved Michelle Moore on July 14 as the new Place 1 trustee.

Moore fills the vacancy left after trustee Craig Rothmeier resigned in May. The board interviewed five top candidates before reconvening to vote.

“I am honored to have been selected to fill Place 1 on the CISD School Board and the opportunity to serve the Southlake community in this important role,” Moore said in a news release. “I am committed to building on the Dragon tradition of excellence and helping each student reach their full potential.”

Moore will serve on the board until the May 2016 election when voters will elect a candidate to serve out the remaining final year for Place 1. Moore will have the choice whether to run in the May 2016 election. The seat will come up for election again for a three-year term in May 2017.

Moore is a board member on the Carroll Education Foundation and serves as the Grants Committee Chair. She was also a member of the district’s Strategic Planning Committee and is active in the PTO. This year she was recognized as the Eubanks Intermediate School Volunteer of the Year.

The next school board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, July 20.
