Board selects chairs for Policy, Equity & Student Achievement, and Audit committees
Summary
The Rochester Board of Education elected committee chairs: Commissioner Griffin to chair the Policy Committee, Commissioner Isaiah Santiago to chair the Equity and Student Achievement Committee, and Commissioner James Patterson to chair the Audit Committee; votes were taken by roll call.
The Rochester Board of Education selected chairs for three standing committees at its meeting: Commissioner Griffin was elected chair of the Policy Committee, Commissioner Isaiah Santiago was elected chair of the Equity and Student Achievement (ESA) Committee, and Commissioner James Patterson was elected chair of the Audit Committee.
Nominations for the Policy Committee chair included Commissioner Griffin and a self-nomination by another commissioner; following a roll-call vote conducted in alphabetical order, the clerk recorded a 4–3 vote in favor of Commissioner Griffin. The board then moved to close the Policy Committee meeting and returned to full session.
For the ESA Committee, members nominated Isaiah Santiago. The clerk recorded a 6–1 vote in favor of Santiago as ESA chair; the committee meeting was then adjourned.
For the Audit Committee, Commissioner Patterson was nominated for chair. The clerk recorded a 5–2 vote in favor of Patterson.
Each committee vote was taken by roll call in alphabetical order, as the board followed its announced procedure for selecting committee chairs at the start of the agenda. After the votes, the board proceeded to close the brief committee sessions and return to the full-board agenda.
