WIMBERLEY –The Katherine Anne Porter School (KAPS) is welcoming new and returning members of the Board of Trustees.
On Sept. 29, KAPS held its open house and board election, and 60 people attended to take part in the festivities. This will be the last year that only employees and parents/guardians of KAPS students will be allowed to vote in school board elections. Starting next year, enrolled students will also be able to participate in electing the school board members.
“As we welcome our new and returning board members, we give a heartfelt thank you to departing board member, Julie Gifford, who has served KAPS diligently and remains a passionate supporter of our school,” a KAPS representative said in a news release.
Six of the newly elected board members are returning members: Melissa Ball, Jordan Elliott, Patrick Hall, Paul Michels, Jazzlynn Derrick and Amy Majors. KAPS is also welcoming two new board members: Sarah Fischer and Claudia Gasponi.
