The Lee's Summit R‑VII Board of Education on a series of voice votes accepted the unofficial results of the April 8, 2025 bond election, swore in two newly elected directors and completed its annual reorganization, electing Stacy Myers as president and Erica Miller as vice president.
Board members also approved routine financial business, including a motion to transfer $3,374,001.84 from the general fund to the special revenue fund, the treasurer's report and payment of bills, an amendment to the 2024–25 budget, and approval of consent‑agenda items 7.01–7.23.
The actions matter because they finalize the district's elected leadership and clear administrative authority to implement budget and bond‑related work now that voters have approved the bond measure. The board's reorganization sets leadership and administrative appointments for the coming year.
Board President Foley opened the reorganization portion by congratulating the newly elected directors. The board formally moved to certify that Michelle Dawson and Nikki Nickens are duly elected members; that motion carried by voice vote. The board then proceeded with the prescribed nomination and voting process for president and vice president. Stacy Myers was nominated and accepted the nomination; the board's voice vote produced a president vote recorded as carried 7–0. Erica Miller was elected vice president by a subsequent voice vote recorded as carried 7–0.
On financial business, a motion to transfer $3,374,001.84 from the general fund to the special revenue fund was made and approved; the meeting minutes record the motion and that it passed by voice vote. The treasurer's report and payment of bills were approved and the board adopted an amendment to the 2024–25 budget as presented. The consent agenda covering items 7.01 through 7.23 was approved without separate discussion. The board also moved to accept the unofficial results of the 04/08/2025 bond issue; that motion passed.
The board completed ministerial appointments during the reorganization. The board reappointed Linda Ismert as board secretary, appointed Nathan Holder as treasurer through June 30, 2025, with Dr. Chad Herzog to assume the treasurer role beginning July 1, 2025; Hannah Pruitt was reappointed assistant secretary and Sharon Garcia reappointed assistant treasurer.
The meeting record shows these votes were conducted by voice and recorded as passing in the meeting; detailed roll‑call tallies were only announced explicitly during the president and vice‑president elections (7–0). The board adjourned the regular meeting and then conducted the reorganization session that produced the new leadership and appointments.
