"I'm going to thank God first of all and all the voters that came out to help me vote. Folks that endorsed me," Chavez said. "It's going to be an amazing feeling. Change is good."

Chavez said her next step is to continue to hit the streets to  make sure the community knows who she is.

"You know there's mixed emotions more so because I've put 11 good years into the LISD and it's been a good run and I have no regrets," Ybarra said. "I hope for the best for our students and I know they'll continue to be served well."

 Ybarra said his biggest accomplishment as school board member was the expansion of the mariachi program to the high school level.
