The Conroe ISD board of trustees on Dec. 16 unanimously approved opening an application process to the public to fill the unexpired term for the vacant trustee Position 1 that will be up for election in November 2026.

How we got here: The decision comes following the Dec. 9 resignation of trustee Tiffany Baumann Nelson, who was elected to the board in 2022, as previously reported by Community Impact. Nelson is currently campaigning for the Texas State Board of Education District 6 seat in the Republican primary March 3.

What happens next: Applications will open at noon Dec. 18 and must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. Jan. 6 on the district’s website.

The new Plush Nail Bar location in Grogan's Mill Village Center, the second location for the business in The Woodlands, is open, employees confirmed on Dec. 17.

Options include the Rose and Champagne Pedicure featuring a champagne-infused soak with rose petals, and the Plush Royal Treatment, with a gold-infused soak.

The impact: The business periodically donates a percentage of sales to local charities such as Interfaith of The Woodlands, HOPE and the Will Herndon Research Fund, which raises money to fund research to find a treatment and cure for juvenile Batten disease, according to a news release.

Montgomery County commissioners approved a contract Dec. 16 to continue digitizing and preserving historical Commissioners Court records—an effort County Clerk Brandon Steinmann said is aimed at making documents easier for residents and county offices to find without digging through physical archives.

The gist: Under the agenda item, the court approved Phase 2 records management and preservation services through the TXMAS interlocal agreement with Kofile Technologies Inc. for $406,550. 

County officials said the project will be funded through the County Clerk Records Management Fund/Records Archive Fund, with no general funds used.

During the discussion, Steinmann said Phase 2 is focused on getting Commissioners Court records online so they are searchable. He said right now, requests for older documents can require staff to spend “hours or a day” going through old books in the county’s records archive.

Steinmann told commissioners the records being preserved date back to early statehood, after Texas transitioned from a republic, and said the digital access is intended to help both county offices and the public.
