“I’m just honored that the voters are entrusting me again with their children’s education,” said McBride, who hopes to continue adding technology to students’ education options.
“We’ve recently added some (artificial intelligence) classes, and with the state standards changing, we have a new science curriculum coming in,” McBride said.
All candidates were cross-filed. Nearly 15,000 votes were cast in the election.
All results are unofficial until certified by the county’s board of elections.
