At the May 13 McHenry CCSD 15 reorganization meeting five newly elected or reelected board members took oaths of office; the board elected Chad Mihavic president, Lindsay Turner vice president and Rachel McDonnell secretary, and approved the superintendent’s appointment of the district recording/corresponding secretary, Kate McInany.
The McHenry CCSD 15 Board of Education on May 13 administered oaths to newly elected and reelected members and completed its reorganization of officers and procedural appointments.
The meeting record lists the following members as taking the oath of office: Chad Mihavic, Lindsay Turner, Rachel McDonnell, Jennifer Sinek and Ernie Waltmyer. After the oath, the board held officer elections. Chad Mihavic was nominated and elected board president; Lindsay Turner was nominated and elected vice president; and Rachel McDonnell was nominated and elected board secretary.
The board also approved the superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Kate McInany, executive assistant to the superintendent, as the board’s recording and corresponding secretary. The appointment was described by the superintendent as separate from the elected board secretary’s duties and was approved by roll-call vote.
The administration asked the board to reaffirm the existing Board of Education Policy Manual and to continue its four standing committees (curriculum, finance, facilities, policy and personnel) and two recurring ad hoc committees (transportation with District 156 and negotiations). The board voted to reaffirm policies and approved the recording-secretary appointment; committee assignments were described as continuing practice, with the superintendent asking members to notify administration if they wished different assignments.
No contested nominations were recorded; roll-call votes for officer elections and the recording-secretary appointment were taken and recorded as carried. The reorganizational meeting concluded with adjournment at 7:56 p.m.
