Broken Arrow board swears in Kate Williams, keeps Steve Allen as president
Summary
At a regular meeting the Broken Arrow Public Schools board administered the oath to Dr. Kate Williams and approved a reorganization keeping Steve Allen as board president and John Cockrell as vice president in a roll-call vote.
The Broken Arrow Public Schools board swore in Dr. Kate Williams as a member and approved a reorganization of leadership roles at its meeting.
Board members took an oath for Williams and then voted to keep Steve Allen as president and John Cockrell as vice president, keep the existing board clerk in place and name Debbie Taylor deputy board clerk. The motion to reorganize passed on a roll call with the members present voting in favor; Williams was sworn in before the vote and participated in the roll call.
The reorganization followed the swearing-in ceremony. The board president and clerk positions named in the motion will remain in effect until the board’s next organizational change or until the board acts again. The transcript records the motion, a second and a roll-call vote indicating the motion carried. The meeting record does not specify the names of the motion maker or the seconder beyond what was announced at the meeting.
The swearing-in and reorganization occurred without further debate. The board moved on to recognitions and its regular agenda after confirming the new member and leadership roles.
The meeting later recessed to other agenda items and subsequently moved toward other routine business.
