The Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education convened a special meeting on May 22, 2024, at 6 PM to address key administrative appointments. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of board members Wind, Sheehan, Suidonic, and Benzel, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The board quickly moved to adopt the meeting agenda, which was approved unanimously. The first significant action was a motion to enter executive session at 6:02 PM to discuss the appointment of a public official. This session lasted until 11:07 PM, during which board members expressed appreciation for the strong pool of candidates.

Upon returning to the public session, the board proceeded to nominations for the board member appointee. Antoinette East Jenkins and David Baumgartner were nominated. After a brief discussion, the board closed nominations and conducted a roll call vote. The results showed a preference for Antoinette East Jenkins, with four votes in her favor and one for Baumgartner.

However, Jenkins was not present to take the oath of office, prompting the board to plan for a future meeting to finalize her appointment. The board emphasized the importance of moving forward to foster community unity and resolve ongoing issues.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was passed unanimously at 11:10 PM. The board expressed a commitment to expedite the appointment process to help the community heal and come together.
