Iredell-Statesville Board appoints and swears in Cindy Haines as District 3 member
Summary
The Iredell-Statesville Board of Education voted to appoint Cindy Haines to fill the District 3 vacancy and administered the oath of office; board members said the appointment followed state law and the local party’s recommendation.
The Iredell-Statesville Board of Education voted to accept Cindy Haines as the District 3 board member and administered the oath of office during the board meeting (date not specified).
Board members said the appointment followed state law and the recommendation of the local political party’s executive committee, and the board then voted to accept Haines. The board administered the oath and Haines responded, “I will.”
Rhonda Hope nominated Haines; a board member moved to accept the nomination and Anita Kern seconded. The board passed the motion by voice vote and then swore Haines in. A board member referenced advice from legal counsel that state law requires the board to vote to fulfill such appointments and that the board ordinarily appoints the person recommended by the local party executive committee.
Following the vote, the board’s presiding officer administered the oath by asking Haines to raise her right hand and swear to support the constitutions of the United States and North Carolina and “faithfully discharge the duties of your office as a member of the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education.” Haines answered, “I will.”
No further roll-call vote tally was recorded on the transcript excerpt; the motion was accepted and the oath was administered immediately afterward.
The board later continued with other agenda business, including agenda adjustments and a closed-session motion that also appears elsewhere on the record.
