Box Elder School Board names Tiffany Summers president, Danielle Wright vice president; Stephanie DePhillips sworn in
Summary
At its meeting, the Box Elder School District Board elected Tiffany Summers as board president and Danielle Wright as vice president, then administered the oath of office to newly appointed member Stephanie DePhillips.
Tiffany Summers was elected president of the Box Elder School District Board of Education and Danielle Wright was elected vice president during the board’s meeting.
The board opened nominations for president and nominated Summers; nominations were then closed and members cast roll-call votes. Julie Taylor announced her vote for Summers, and other members followed, after which President Wade Hyde said, “Tiffany, you are our new president.” Danielle Wright won the vice-presidency with four votes after nominations and roll-call voting.
The leadership vote followed an administration matter in which the board welcomed Stephanie DePhillips as a newly appointed board member and conducted an oath of office. A board member led DePhillips in the oath, which included the pledge to “support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State,” after which DePhillips signed the oath and introduced family members in the meeting room.
Why it matters: Board leadership sets meeting agendas and committee assignments and determines who represents the district in interdistrict organizations. The new president and vice president will preside beginning with next month’s meeting.
What happened next: Hyde said the new president and vice president will begin presiding over meetings in February; the board did not take further action tied to the leadership change at the same meeting.
Quotes: “Tiffany, you are our new president,” Wade Hyde said after the roll-call results were read.
Ending: The board will begin operating under the new leadership team next month; committee assignments and meeting oversight will be adjusted under the incoming president and vice president.
