Shelby County board administers oath to incoming member; Frios nominated for chair, Klein for vice chair
Summary
An incoming member took the oath of office and board members nominated Ms. Frios for chair and Andrew Klein for vice chair. Members later welcomed a newly seated member; formal elections were moved forward on the agenda.
An individual was administered the oath to serve as a member of the Shelby County Board of Education, and board members later nominated leadership for 2025.
The presiding officer read the oath, asking the incoming member to swear or affirm support for the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the Commonwealth and to pledge faithful execution of the duties of a board member. The presiding officer also asked whether the person had engaged in a duel since adopting the state constitution; the person responded, “I do. Good,” when asked to affirm eligibility and impartiality regarding contracts and hiring.
The oath established the legal pledge required of school board members and was administered early in the meeting. Board members later made leadership nominations: “I would like to nominate Ms. Frios for chair and Andrew Klein for vice chair,” a board member said.
Board members also welcomed Miss Reed as a new member during remarks later in the meeting. Multiple members offered congratulations and brief welcomes to returning and new members, noting the seriousness of the role and the community of students served.
No formal roll-call vote to elect chair and vice chair appears in the published transcript excerpt; the nominations were placed on the record during the meeting’s leadership-election agenda item.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items, including a superintendent report and routine business.
