The Rockwood R‑VI School District Board of Education at an annual reorganization meeting Thursday, April 10, 2025, confirmed unofficial election results, administered the oath of office to a newly elected member and elected Lynn Midgett president and Tammy Romberg vice president for the 2025–26 year.
The board’s chief communications officer, Mary LePak, presented unofficial county totals reported by St. Louis County and Jefferson County showing Sarah Boyer with 9,077 votes (49.41%) and Dr. Mara Voracek Warren with 7,733 votes (42.09%); a candidate listed as “Izzy and Meg” received 1,556 votes (8.47%). LePak noted those totals are unofficial until certified by the counties and that Jefferson County included six write‑in votes.
The board administered the oath of office to Sarah Boyer. During the oath Boyer stated, "I do solemnly swear that I...", completing the prescribed oath before the board.
In the officer elections, the board elected Lynn Midgett president by roll call, with seven votes in favor and none opposed.
