The Bryan school board has hired a new Director of Technology. Returning to the central office is Barbara Ybarra.
She had spent just over a year at Davila Middle School as Assistant Principal and Dean of Instruction. Before that, Ybarra spent the better part of five years in the BISD technology center. She has been with the district since 1996.
Ybarra succeeds Jennifer Bergland, who was at BISD since 1986 and coordinated the technology department for 15 years. Bergland is joining the Texas Computer Education Association in Austin.
