Terry Rhodes was elected president of the Cache County School District Board of Education and Katherine Christiansen was elected vice president during the board’s Jan. 2 meeting at the Legacy Campus boardroom.

The nominations and seconding of nominations were moved and seconded on the record; board members voted electronically, and business administrator Jared Black entered the votes. The board then administered the oath of office to newly elected and re-elected members, who repeated the oath to support and defend the U.S. and Utah constitutions and to discharge their duties with fidelity.

The officer elections followed the board’s roll call at the start of the meeting. After nominations and seconds were recorded, the board chair called for voice votes and then used the electronic voting system. Votes were entered by Jared Black, business administrator, according to the meeting record.

The board also swore in four members: Alan Gruenig (soon to be sworn in per the meeting record), Kathy Christiansen (reelected), Jeff Nielsen (incoming), and Bridal Chambers (reelected). Each stood and repeated the standard oath for public office in Utah.

No additional formal amendments or contested tallies were recorded on the meeting audio for these officer elections; the motions carried as announced at the meeting and the new/reelected members took their oaths before the board moved on to reports.
