Board elects new president and vice president after roll-call votes
Summary
After nominations, the board held roll-call votes that resulted in the election of Ed (nomination name recorded as Ed Hoff) as board president and Clara Williams as vice president; votes were taken by roll call and counted at the meeting.
The Teaneck Board of Education conducted nominations and roll-call elections for board president and vice president during its Jan. 7 reorganization meeting.
For president, Trustees nominated Ed Hoff and Clara Williams. The board took a roll-call vote; the chair announced an outcome of five votes for the nominated “Mr.” and four votes against, giving the majority to the nominee identified in the nominations as Ed Hoff. The board then turned control of the meeting to the new president.
For vice president, Trustees nominated Jerry Kirschenbaum and Tassandra (Tassandra) Reyes and also placed Clara Williams into contention. After roll-call voting the board announced that Clara Williams was elected vice president. At one point in the tallying process a board member clarified voting options and the chair read individual roll-call answers before announcing that Williams had won the majority.
Board members and attendees congratulated the newly elected officers. After taking the chair, the new president outlined priorities later in the meeting, including healing, improving meetings and pursuing a bond referendum.
The board recorded the nominations, the roll-call voting procedure, and the announced tallies in the meeting record. The meeting minutes show the process entailed live roll-call answers from trustees and public confirmation of the outcome.
