Klein ISD swears in 2 new board trustees During the Klein ISD board’s Dec. 9 meeting, Chris Todd, Denise Morrison and Nicole Doerre Peters were sworn in to serve as trustees for positions 3, 4 and 5, respectively. What they’re saying “I am truly honored to be here and to be serving on this board for this community that I love so much and that I’ve been a part of my whole life,” Peters said. While Todd won his re-election bid Nov. 5 after first being elected to the board in 2018, Morrison and Peters are each serving their first terms as trustees for the district. “I did run in 2021, and running this year, I was very thankful to see the result,” Morri- son said. “I’m going to dive right in.”
