Jackie elected chair; Jim Hamilton named to municipal building committee in reorganization votes
Summary
At its first meeting after the election, the Easton School Committee reorganized leadership, electing Jackie as chair and assigning members to municipal and security committees, including Jim Hamilton to the municipal building committee.
The Easton School Committee completed its customary reorganization at the May 8 meeting following the recent election, electing Jackie as chair and making several subcommittee appointments.
A committee member moved to nominate Jackie for chair; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote. After the vote, members asked Jackie to assume additional responsibilities including policy items and committee liaisons.
The committee also considered vacancies on town and school subcommittees. The municipal building committee required a timely appointment because it will meet May 20 on an urgent matter; Jim Hamilton was nominated and the committee approved his appointment. The committee clarified that municipal committee appointees who serve as school committee liaisons should coordinate between municipal and school votes and, where necessary, complete the town clerk swearing‑in process.
Members also discussed the security committee, which operates as an offshoot of municipal building committee work. A school committee member volunteered for the security role and the committee approved that appointment.
Votes on reorganization and appointments were taken by voice and the motions passed; the meeting proceeded to other agenda items.
