​As expected, Paula Harris has been elected the new president of the Houston school district's board of directors.

The unanimous vote came early in a meeting that's still going on.

Harris, who works in the oil industry, replaces Greg Meyers, who stepped down from the position after a one-year term, as is customary in HISD.

Here's the rest of the lineup as voted on today:

Manuel Rodriguez, vice president
Anna Eastman, second vice president
Carol Mims Galloway, secretary
Mike Lunceford, assistant secretary

"I'm very honored that my colleagues have entrusted me with this huge responsibility," Harris said. "Our goal is to meet the needs of every child, family and community in the Houston area. We'll continue working tirelessly to put together strategic plans to bring our schools to an even higher level."
