Indian Prairie board reviews county canvass, elects officers and administers oath
Summary
The board reviewed DuPage County’s official canvass for the April 1 school board election, affirmed the winners, held the organizational votes for board officers and administered the board oath; Lori Donahue was elected president and Allison Fosdick secretary, with Sapna Jain chosen vice president and Katie Gintz appointed IASB representative.
Superintendent Adrian Talley presented the official county canvass of the April 1 school board election during the Indian Prairie School District 204 board meeting on May 5, noting the results were posted in BoardDocs. Talley said no board action was required to review the canvas.
Talley read vote totals and identified the successful candidates. He said the district’s primary county is DuPage and the canvass included Will County returns; he then stated the winners and returned the meeting to the board for organizational business.
After the canvass review the board moved to organizational business. The board elected Lori Donahue president by majority vote (the transcript records the vote as five in favor with one abstention). The board elected Sapna Jain vice president (nomination and vote concluded with Sapna Jain chosen), and Allison Fosdick was elected secretary (roll call recorded as unanimous in favor). The board appointed Katie Gintz as the Illinois Association of School Boards governing‑board representative by recorded vote (the transcript shows an appointment vote recorded as 5 in favor, 4 opposed and 1 abstention).
Following the officer elections, several board members participated in the oath of office reaffirmation. The oath text was read aloud for board members to follow and record the reaffirmation on the public record.
Why it matters: Canvass review confirms who will serve on the board; officer elections determine leadership and committee assignments for the next term. The IASB appointment names the district’s representative to the statewide school board association.
Process notes: Talley said the canvass results are posted in BoardDocs. The board conducted the organizational votes and then recessed to executive session later in the agenda.
