Glen Ellyn School District 41 swears in new members, elects officers and affirms administrative appointments
Summary
At its May 5 reorganizational meeting, the Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board swore in new members, elected Robert (Bob) Bruno president, Jason Lobach vice president and Julie Hill secretary, affirmed Eric DePorter as treasurer, designated district banks and adopted the board code of conduct and calendar.
The Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board of Education held its reorganizational meeting May 5, swearing in new board members, electing officers and taking several administrative actions including affirming a treasurer, designating banks of depository, adopting the board code of conduct and approving the 2025–26 board calendar.
In a swearing-in ceremony, Amy Becker, Robert (Bob) Bruno, Jason Lobach and Chris Martelli were invited to the front of the table and read the board oath as a group. The board then nominated and confirmed officers: Robert Bruno was nominated and accepted the office of board president (a unanimous voice vote was recorded), Jason Lobach was nominated and recorded as vice president, and Julie Hill was nominated and recorded as secretary. Roll calls were requested and the clerk recorded unanimous votes where roll calls were taken.
Administrative appointments and governance items: the board moved to affirm Eric De Porter, assistant superintendent of finance, facilities and operations, as district treasurer; designate banks of depository (listed on the record as ISD LAF, BMO Harris, MBS, Fifth Third and Glen Ellen Bank and Trust); adopt the 2025–26 board meeting calendar as presented; and affirm the Board of Education code of conduct per board policy 2:80. Each motion was seconded and approved by recorded votes.
Election acceptance: the board also accepted the DuPage County Election Authority’s canvass of votes for the April election by motion and voice vote.
Recognition: the meeting included a public recognition of a departing member identified in the transcript as "Doctor Michael," who was thanked by colleagues and students. In his remarks, Doctor Michael said he appreciated the opportunity to serve and told the board, “I appreciate the opportunity… I’m proud of the work that we have done for the young people of the district and the community that I care so much about.”
Why it matters: the reorganizational actions establish board leadership, administrative signatories and governance norms that guide district operations and legal responsibilities for the coming term.
What’s next: with officers and administrative appointments affirmed, the board proceeded to remaining agenda items at the meeting; the calendar and code of conduct will apply to the 2025–26 governance year as adopted on the record.
