Lake County certifies April election; newly elected Beach Park CCSD 3 members sworn in, Marcia White selected president
Summary
The Lake County Clerk certified results of the April 1, 2025, school board election; newly elected members were administered the oath of office and the board selected Marcia White as president. The meeting included officer nominations and a return from closed session.
The Lake County Clerk certified the results of the April 1, 2025, Beach Park Community Consolidated School District 3 school board election, and the board administered oaths of office to its newly elected members during the district meeting.
The certification by the Lake County Clerk established the official outcome of the April 1 election; the board then conducted an oath-of-office ceremony for incoming and continuing members. The oath included affirmations to uphold the constitutions of the United States and the State of Illinois, to follow state law, to respect public inspection and board majority decisions, and to advocate for the district’s students and assets.
After returning from closed session, the board moved to organize its leadership for the coming term. A nomination for president pro tem named Superintendent Dr. Wilcox to serve until a president was elected. The board nominated Marcia White for president and, with no further nominations, the board selected Marcia White to serve as board president. Nominations for secretary were opened and a roll-call vote was conducted; the excerpt provided does not clearly record the final outcome of that secretary vote in the supplied transcript.
The meeting record shows the board completed required procedural steps after the election certification — including administering oaths and conducting officer nominations — but the provided excerpt does not include a formal, recorded roll-call tally for the secretary position. The Lake County certification and the oath administration are official steps that confirm the new members’ authority to act as board members.
Board members and staff identified in the meeting may undertake follow-up administrative tasks such as updating board rosters and notifying the Regional Office of Education as required by state procedures.
