Ogden board appoints Jamie Nunley to fill District 6 vacancy
Summary
After interviewing four finalists in a special session, the Ogden City School District Board appointed Jamie Nunley to fill the District 6 board vacancy; the board outlined onboarding steps and a swearing-in at a joint session with the city council.
The Ogden City School District Board of Education appointed Jamie Nunley to fill the District 6 board vacancy following interviews with four finalists and a final ranked vote.
Board members reviewed candidate answers from a series of interviews conducted during a special session. After an initial ranking round narrowed the field to two finalists, the board conducted a final selection by ballot and a motion to appoint Jamie Nunley passed; a board member moved to approve the appointment and another board member seconded the motion. The board approved the appointment by voice vote.
Board President Wilson welcomed Nunley and outlined next steps for onboarding. District staff said human resources will contact the appointee and that the board has a Canvas page used for onboarding. Assistant Superintendent Chad and Executive Assistant Jennifer Carter were identified as contacts who will help set up meetings and complete required HR steps. The board indicated the swearing-in is scheduled to occur at a joint session with the city council on Feb. 6 and asked the appointee to arrive early for a 5:30 p.m. ceremony.
After the vote, Jamie Nunley said she was honored and looked forward to working with the board. Board members praised all four finalists and said the panel had difficulty choosing because the candidates brought diverse experience in education, parent engagement and community outreach.
Board discussion that preceded the appointment described factors members weighed in the selection, including candidates’ experience with schools, community outreach, and familiarity with district challenges such as poverty and family needs. Several board members said they valued candidates who could represent community perspectives as well as bring connections to local organizations.
Staff said district onboarding will include human-resources paperwork and an orientation meeting to review the role and district priorities. The newly appointed member is expected to take her seat at upcoming meetings per the board’s timetable for onboarding.
