ISD 622 board members take oath, elect officers and adopt organizational resolutions
Summary
At a Jan. 14 special session, the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District (ISD 622) board administered oaths to new and re-elected members, elected officers by voice vote and adopted organizational resolutions numbered 1–19 without discussion.
Members of the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District (ISD 622) board held a special session Jan. 14, 2025, at which new and re-elected board members recited the oath of office, the board elected officers for 2025 and unanimously adopted a set of routine organizational resolutions numbered 1 through 19.
The oath of office was administered during the meeting and board members repeated the pledge to support the U.S. and state constitutions and to “discharge faithfully the duties of the office of school board member of Independent School District number 622.” A new board member, Katie Swir, stood with family members who were introduced before a group photo.
The board then proceeded to elect officers for 2025 by voice vote with no discussion. Keita Yang was nominated and declared elected chair; Caleb Anderson was nominated and declared elected vice chair; Nancy Livingston was nominated and declared elected clerk; and Julia Martins was nominated and declared elected treasurer. Motions and seconds were recorded on the floor as follows: the motion to elect Yang was moved by Natardi and seconded by Martins; the motion to elect Anderson was moved by Livingston and seconded by Martins; the motion to elect Livingston as clerk was moved and seconded as recorded in the minutes; and the motion to elect Julia Martins as treasurer was moved by Anderson and seconded by Livingston. Each motion was approved by an audible “aye” with no recorded opposing votes.
After the officer elections the board took up a packet of organizational resolutions. The chair read that the full text of the resolutions is listed in the board books and invited members to pull any item for discussion; none were pulled. A motion to accept organizational resolutions numbered 1 through 19 "as presented" was moved by Livingston and seconded by Martins; the board approved the package by voice vote.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn moved by Katie (recorded as Katie Soar in the minutes) and seconded by Natardi; the chair declared the meeting adjourned.
The board did not engage in substantive debate on the officer elections or the organizational resolutions during this special session. The full resolutions and meeting packet are available in the district's board materials for those seeking the text of each numbered resolution.
