Hillsboro R‑III board certifies election results, administers oaths and elects officers

The Hillsboro R‑III Board of Education voted to certify the district’s recent election results and administered the oath of office to newly elected board members before selecting officer roles for the coming year.

Board members moved to “certify those results” as issued by the verification board and the motion carried by voice vote, the board indicated at the start of the meeting. Shortly afterward, new members recited the oath of office, promising to support the constitutions of the United States and the State of Missouri and to “faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of school director.”

The board then held nominations for officer positions. Temporary chair Dr. Isis called for nominations for president and the board elected John (surname not specified in the record) by acclamation after nominations were closed. Angie Osteen was elected vice president by acclamation, and Beth Petrie was elected treasurer by acclamation. A board secretary nomination was also made and approved by voice vote.

The board noted that because officer positions remain unchanged from the prior year, no separate resolution on checking account signatures was required. Members also discussed upcoming committee assignments and agreed to revisit committee rosters and time commitments at the May meeting; the temporary chair said she would send explanatory material about committee roles and historical time commitments to the board in the next week or two.

The votes on certification and on officer elections were carried by acclamation or unanimous voice vote as reflected in the meeting record; specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the public minutes.

Looking ahead, board members were reminded of the district calendar, including a personnel meeting and the board’s recognition night in May, and were told a board calendar and committee list will be finalized in May.
