Depew board approves May 2025 election results, seat declared vacant; Carisha Hawthorne Greer sworn in
Summary
The board approved May 2025 election results, recorded a vacancy after a successful write-in declined the seat for the May 21–June 30, 2027 term, and District Clerk Nigel administered the oath to Carisha Hawthorne Greer.
The Depew Union Free School District Board of Education approved the May 2025 election results at its May 27 meeting and announced that the successful write-in candidate declined the board seat, creating a vacancy for the term running May 21, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
District Clerk Nigel administered the oath of office to Carisha Hawthorne Greer, who was sworn in to fill a board seat. Board members noted that John Spencer will take a seat on the board effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.
Board members conducted a roll call following the oath and recorded all trustees present. The board did not cite a specific statute at the meeting while describing how it would fill the vacancy; members said the vacancy would be filled in accordance with applicable law. The transcript does not record a separate roll-call vote to appoint Greer; the oath was administered following the board’s certification of the election results.
Why it matters: filling board seats and confirming election results affects governance of the district through the incoming trustees and the composition of future votes on district policies and budgets.
