Colchester School Board re-elects Lindsay Cox as chair; appoints vice chair, clerk and names newspaper of record

Lindsay Cox was re-elected chair of the Colchester School Board during the board’s reorganization portion of the meeting. The board also re-elected Nick Longo as vice chair, reappointed Ben Yazzie Hines as board clerk and designated the Goldchester Sun as the district’s newspaper of record.

Board members held nominations and votes during the meeting’s reorganization agenda item. A motion to re-elect Cox as chair was made and carried by voice vote. Longo was nominated and retained as vice chair; Ben Yazzie Hines was nominated and approved to continue as clerk. In a separate motion, the board voted to name the Goldchester Sun as its newspaper of record.

The reorganization items were procedural and uncontested; the board chair then turned to the next agenda item, the first reading of board policies B1, B2 and A1.

No formal dissent, abstentions or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript beyond the board’s voice approvals.

Meeting excerpts that show the nominations and actions are in the meeting transcript beginning with the announcement of nominations and ending where the chair closes the reorganization and moves to the next agenda item.
