The Midway ISD Board of Trustees has appointed Stephen Carl to fill the vacant Place VII position on the Board following a comprehensive selection process.
Mr. Carl brings a unique blend of legal expertise, military leadership, and community service to the role. He currently serves as a family law attorney, where his work focuses on supporting children and families, and he regularly collaborates with educators and community partners.
