One contested seat for LISD board
The Place 2 seat on the Llano Independent School District Board of Trustees is up for grabs in the May election with two candidates vying for the spot. Places 6 and 7 are also on the ballot, but the incumbents for those seats refiled and have no challengers.
Candidates who filled out paperwork to run during the Jan. 15-Feb. 14 filing window were:
Place 2
- Pamela Huston (new candidate)
- Christian Morgan (new candidate)
Incumbent Place 2 Trustee Lance Dillard chose to not file for re-election after serving on the board since 2016.
Place 6
- Paul Hull (incumbent)
Hull was appointed to fill the Place 6 vacancy in October 2022 and then elected to the seat in May 2023 to finish the current term.
Place 7
- Jeff Kuykendall (incumbent since 2016)

LISD trustees serve staggered, three-year terms. Those elected in May will serve from 2025-28.
Trustees represent the residents of the Llano school district in policy making, forming the district’s budget, approving or denying major developments and projects, and overseeing the work of the superintendent, who handles the district’s day-to-day operations.
The Board of Trustees usually meets on the fourth Monday of each month.
