Belton ISD Board appoints Brandon Bozon to fill trustee vacancy after Janet Lee's resignation

During the Belton Independent School District (ISD) Board Meeting on May 12, 2025, significant changes were made to the board's composition, directly impacting the community's governance. The board accepted the resignation of trustee Janet Lee and appointed Brandon Bozon to fill her vacancy until the next general election in May 2026.

The decision to accept Lee's resignation was met with a motion from board members, emphasizing the need for a swift transition to address pressing issues facing the district. The board highlighted the financial implications of holding a special election, which could cost the district between $50,000 and $60,000—funds that are currently not available. This move aims to ensure that the board remains functional and responsive to the needs of the students and community.

Bozon's appointment was praised by fellow board members, who noted his extensive experience and skill set in public finance and board service. His background is seen as a valuable asset during challenging times for the district, as the board navigates various upcoming issues.

The meeting concluded with all action items addressed, marking a pivotal moment for Belton ISD as it prepares for future challenges with a renewed board member. The community can expect ongoing communication regarding the board's decisions and the rationale behind them, ensuring transparency and engagement as they move forward.
