The Davis School District board elected Bridgette Gerard as board president and Emily Price as vice president during its organizational portion of the meeting.
Tim Leffel, the district business administrator, reviewed the nomination and voting process before nominations. The board takes nominations, allows nominators to speak briefly, closes nominations and then attempts a voice vote; if no candidate receives four votes the board moves to a secret ballot. The board operates with seven members and requires four votes to win a contested leadership race.
A board member nominated Bridgette Gerard for president. Another candidate nominated herself and described leadership training and experience that she said would make her effective in the role. With the voice vote, Gerard received the necessary support and the presiding officer announced, “our board president for the next two years will be Miss Bridgette Gerard.” The transcript does not record an exact numeric roll-call tally for the president election beyond the required-majority threshold.
For vice president, two nominations were made; the initial voice vote produced four votes for Emily Price, and the presiding officer announced that Price would serve as vice president for the next two years.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, a second and a voice vote in favor. The presiding officer declared the meeting adjourned.
