The Gary Community School Corporation Board of Trustees conducted officer elections during its Jan. 8 regular meeting, electing Glenn Johnson as vice president and approving the board’s nominated secretary.

Glenn Johnson was nominated and, after a motion and second, approved by roll call. The board’s roll-call voting on the vice president motion recorded four members voting yes and one abstention. During the roll call, members recorded as voting yes included Mr. Suggs, Dr. Woods and Dr. McLeod (recorded in the transcript also as “McCloud”), and Mr. Johnson; the meeting record shows a final tally of four yes and one abstention.

The board also approved the nominated secretary by roll call, with the transcript recording a 5‑0 vote to elect the nominee. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings and references for the approved secretary: speakers referred to the nominee variously as “Tony Chantre Irwin,” “attorney Shontay Irving,” and “Mr. Irvin.” Because the transcript’s references to the nominee are not consistent, the board’s minutes or the official, signed record should be consulted for the secretary’s authoritative name and title. The board chair offered congratulations to the approved secretary following the vote.

No other officer nominations or challenges were recorded. Both officer elections were handled by nomination, motion, second and roll-call vote during the meeting’s opening agenda items.
