Tumwater board elects Darby Kaikonnen as president through December 2025
Summary
The Tumwater School District board elected Director Darby Kaikonnen as board president to serve until the districts annual organizational meeting in December 2025 after Director Beard submitted a resignation from the presidency.
The Tumwater School District Board of Directors elected Director Darby Kaikonnen as board president to serve until the annual organizational meeting on Dec. 20, 2025. The change followed a resignation from Director Beard from the role of board president and an agenda amendment to add the election before public comment.
Superintendent Kevin Bogatin announced the agenda change after the board acknowledged Director Beards resignation; a board member then nominated Kaikonnen and a second was given. The superintendent called a roll-call vote; the board voted to appoint Kaikonnen.
The election was procedural: the board chair accepted nominations, there were no additional nominees, and a roll-call vote confirmed Kaikonnen. The meeting record shows the motion passed and Director Darby Kaikonnen will serve as board president through Dec. 20, 2025. The transcript does not record a full roll-call tally or the names of the motion mover and seconder.
The appointment was recorded during the meetings regular business and does not appear to include conditions or amendments in the transcript. Board leadership changes will take effect immediately and remain in place until the districts annual organizational meeting in December.
No additional formal actions tied to the presidency appointment were recorded in the discussion that followed.
