Pelham board elects Robert Plummer president, Shannon White vice president during May meeting

The Pelham City Schools Board of Education took nominations and elected its officers during the May board meeting, choosing Robert Plummer as board president and Shannon White as vice president.

Dr. Beverly Chappell, designated by the board to serve as clerk for election purposes, opened nominations and said elections would be by roll-call vote, as called for by state law requiring city boards of education to elect a president and vice president at their May meeting. Robert Plummer was nominated from the floor and, after nominations closed, was elected by roll call. Nominations for vice president followed and Shannon White was elected.

The board recorded each member’s vote on the record; the roll-call process was used for both offices. The board then resumed regular business with outgoing board president Angie Hester presiding for the remainder of her final meeting.

The meeting minutes show nominations were taken from the floor and that no seconds were required under Robert’s Rules of Order for nominations. The transcript does not identify who made the nomination from the floor for president by name.
