Conroe ISD approves Agueda Gambino in 4-2 vote for Position 1 trustee

The Conroe ISD board of trustees named Agueda Gambino as the Position 1 trustee in a 4-2 vote Jan. 13 . Trustees Marianne Horton and Melissa Semmler voted against the motion.

What to know: At the Dec. 16 meeting, the board unanimously approved opening an application process to fill the open position. Applications for Position 1 were open from Dec. 18 to Jan. 6 on the district website.

The move followed 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 March 3 Republican primary.

Quote of note: “This was not an easy decision,” said board President Misty Odenweller. “We had many outstanding candidates apply, which speaks volumes about the strength and commitment of our community. The board followed a thoughtful and transparent application and interview process, and we are confident and excited about Mrs. Gambino serving our district.”
