After Saturday’s Burnet Consolidated Independent School Board election, three incumbents will be returning to the dais with one new face joining the board.

The four places on the ballot were: Place 2, Place 4, Place 5, and Place 7. Vice President Angela Moore ran unopposed in Place 2. Trustee Ross Behrens ran unopposed in Place 4, and newcomer David Bennett ran unopposed in Place 6, which was previously held by Robby Robertson.

After 18 years on the Board, Robertson had earlier announced his retirement from the board and did not run.

In Place 5, appointed incumbent Trustee Katy Duke faced challenger Amber Cardenas. According to unofficial results from Burnet County Elections Office, Duke defeated Cardenas with 54.8% of the vote.
