At its July 1 organizational meeting, the Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J Board of Directors administered oaths to newly elected members, elected Jill Zershmeid as board chair for the 2025-26 year, and named Tristan Ervin vice chair, as required by state law.

Stephen Campbell read certified election results into the record, saying the election office confirmed David Jaimes for Zone 1, Tristan Irvin for Zone 3 and Crystal Wesson for Zone 5. Campbell then administered the oath of office to David Jaimes. The board cited Oregon Revised Statute ORS 332.040 when explaining the requirement to elect a chair and vice chair immediately after July 1.

Director Miles nominated Jill Zershmeid for board chair; the nomination was seconded and Zershmeid accepted. The board held a voice vote and approved the nomination; one member spoke on the record that they had "had some challenges with her working relationship" and voted no, but the motion carried. For vice chair, the board nominated Tristan Ervin; Ervin accepted and was elected by voice vote.

The board also considered and adopted its annual organization resolution (Resolution 25-26-01) with an amendment: the district updated the individual authorized to negotiate and execute real property transactions from board member Tristan Irvin to the board chair. The resolution identifies district officers, clerks, agents and depositories, the district's selected auditor (listed in the packet as CLEAR Bridal CPAs), and other administrative assignments.

Board members noted the transitions were routine and thanked outgoing leadership. The reorganization and oath administration were recorded in the July 1 minutes.
