This week, the Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted for former Lubbock ISD teacher Christina Skeen to replace former District 5 trustee John Weddige, who resigned earlier in the school year. Skeen's first meeting acting as a trustee is set for tonight at 5 p.m. at the LISD Central Office at 1628 19th Street. Lieutenant Governor-elect Vikki Goodwin announced she’s selected a bipartisan transition team who’ll help prepare her to take office in January. The Texas Newsroom's Blaise Gainey reports the team includes two former Republican state senators, a retired Texas Supreme Court Justice, and Austin’s mayor.
