Lake County Schools elects board chair, names vice chair and representatives
Summary
The Lake County Schools Board of Education held elections for chair, vice chair and other representative posts and approved previous meeting minutes; several votes were conducted after nominations and a tie in the vice-chair vote required an additional round of voting.
The Lake County Schools Board of Education voted to select leadership and representatives at its meeting; Joe Webb was selected as board chair and Vivian Warren was chosen as vice chair after a tied initial vote required another round of voting.
The meeting opened routine business by moving to approve the minutes of the previous meeting; a motion to approve carried. The board then proceeded with nominations and elections for leadership posts. Board members nominated multiple candidates for chair and vice chair before tabulating votes. After an initial tie for vice chair, the board conducted another round of voting and selected Vivian Warren for the vice-chair role. The board also named a chair pro tem (Deborah) and designated delegates to the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) and the Tennessee Learning Network (TLN) as part of the meeting’s organizational items.
Board members discussed procedure when a tie occurred and whether the outgoing chair may break ties; the board determined to continue voting rounds rather than apply a chair tiebreak. Joe Webb declined to vote on his own nomination, saying, "I'll pass." The clerk announced outcomes after the roll-call style voting.
