Bend, Ore., June 8, 2025 — The Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 Board of Directors re-elected Marcus LeGrand as board chair and chose Amy Tatum as vice chair during its June 8 regular meeting.

Board Chair Marcus LeGrand was re-elected in the meeting vote; the motion passed with one abstention recorded. The board subsequently considered two nominations for vice chair. An initial motion to elect Kina/Keena Chadwick failed with two yes votes, three no votes and one abstention. A second motion to elect Director Amy Tatum carried with four yes votes and two no votes; Tatum did not vote for herself, the board noted.

The nominations and roll calls were handled during the open session. The motion to elect LeGrand as chair was moved and seconded as shown in the record, after which the chair called for the question and the board voted. The first vice-chair nomination was moved, seconded and then voted on; the transcript records that Marcus LeGrand and Cameron Fisher voted yes on that motion while Ross Tomlin, Shirley Olsen and Jen Lynch voted no and Kina/Keena Chadwick abstained. After that failed motion, a new nomination for Amy Tatum was made and seconded; Shirley Olsen, Jen Lynch, Ross Tomlin and Cameron Fisher voted yes while Marcus LeGrand and Kina/Keena Chadwick voted no and the motion passed.

Board Clerk Janet Bogdanowski assisted with vote procedure and timing during the election process. Members asked for brief clarifications between votes and confirmed tallies aloud before the chair declared the results.

The board proceeded to its consent agenda after the officer elections concluded.
