Phoenix School Board Welcomes New Member Sue Ann Edmiston and Bids Farewell to Doctor Vink

The Phoenix Elementary District Governing Board convened on August 14, 2025, at 5:18 PM, with a quorum present. The meeting commenced with a land acknowledgment, recognizing the tribes indigenous to the Phoenix area, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The board moved to adopt the agenda, during which a motion was made to amend the consent agenda by removing action item D3 for separate consideration. The board discussed whether to table this item for a future meeting or address it later in the current session. Ultimately, the motion to amend the agenda did not pass after a roll call vote.

Following this, another motion was proposed to approve the agenda without item E4, which also received a roll call vote and passed. The board then approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on July 8.

In a significant moment, the board welcomed its new member, Sue Ann Edmiston, marking her first meeting. The board expressed gratitude for her commitment to the district. Conversely, the board bid farewell to Dr. Alicia Vink, who announced her departure as she relocates to Washington. The board acknowledged her contributions and wished her well in her future endeavors.

The meeting proceeded with updates and discussions on various topics, emphasizing the board's commitment to serving the community and enhancing educational outcomes for students.
