Jocelyn County Board elects Jeff Sullivan as District 7 representative

The JC Board of Education held a special session meeting on February 6, 2025, primarily to select a new board member for District 7. All board members were present, and the meeting commenced with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance.

The board had previously met on January 21 to establish the selection process for the new member, reviewing applications from three candidates. This meeting followed interviews conducted earlier in the week, where each candidate presented their qualifications and vision for the district.

During the meeting, board members expressed gratitude to the candidates for their willingness to serve and acknowledged the effort they put into the application process. Members praised the candidates for their commitment to the community and their passion for education, noting that any of them would have made a valuable addition to the board.

After a brief discussion, the board voted by written ballot, as permitted by board policy. The results revealed that Jeff Sullivan received five votes, while the other candidate, Miss Chamblee, received one vote. Consequently, Jeff Sullivan was officially appointed as the new representative for District 7.

With no further business to address, the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking a significant step forward for the board as it welcomes its new member.
