Liberty-Eylau Independent School District's Board of Trustees swore in two board members during their regular meeting Thursday.
Notary Public Brooke Haugh administered the oath of office to Place 2's James Keeton and Place 1's Scott Bergt, who each ran unopposed in the recent election.
They will serve three-year terms.
The board also elected Keeton to serve as president, Chad Turner as vice president and Christina Walker as secretary.
In other business, the board also heard a construction update from Scott Barnes, project manager with BTC Construction, contractor for the elementary school project.
Barnes said the rock facade on the front entrance will be complete by the end of the week and scaffolding removed so passersby will be able to see the front. Next week, they will begin working on curbs for the parking areas and the gym floor will be placed in about three weeks.
