At the Waynesville R‑VI Board of Education's April 21 meeting, board members conducted the annual reorganization, selected officers for the coming year and completed oaths of office for two recently elected members.
Key results - Officers: The board nominated and selected Janelle Rao as president by acclamation. Charles Quinn was selected as vice president; Mr. Lercher was selected as secretary; and Mike Keeling was selected as treasurer. Janelle Rao also accepted nomination to serve as the Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA) delegate.
- Swearing in: The board secretary administered the oath of office to two recently elected candidates, including Aaron Pondrum and Charles Quinn; the oath included support for the U.S. Constitution and the Missouri Constitution and a pledge to faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of school board member for the Waynesville R‑VI School District in Pulaski County.
Procedure Board policy BCA was cited by the presiding temporary chair when explaining the nomination process and the use of acclamation if only one candidate is nominated. The temporary chair noted that seconds are not required by Robert's Rules for nominations; the board closed nominations after a single slate was presented and approved the slate.
Notes The meeting record shows the nominations, acceptances and the acclamation selection; the board then resumed regular business after the officers assumed their duties.
