Camille Simmons elected president; Amy Malloy elected vice president of Rochester Board of Education
Summary
At a Rochester Board of Education meeting, Camille Simmons was elected board president and Amy Malloy was elected vice president for the 2025 calendar year; both were sworn into office and the board agreed to proceed with its 2025 committee and administrative designations.
Camille Simmons was elected president of the Rochester Board of Education and sworn into office, and Amy Malloy was elected vice president, the board announced during its meeting.
The board opened nominations for president and received nominations for incumbent Commissioner Cynthia Elliott and Commissioner Camille Simmons. After closing nominations, the board conducted a roll-call vote and, as recorded by the clerk, elected Simmons with four yeas and three nays. The board then administered the oath of office; General Counsel Neal led Simmons in the oath to support the U.S. and New York State constitutions and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office of president of the Rochester City School District.
The board then opened nominations for vice president. The clerk nominated Isaiah Santiago; another nomination was made for Amy Malloy. Following a roll-call vote conducted in alphabetical order, the clerk recorded Commissioner Amy Malloy as vice president, again by a 4-3 vote as recorded at the meeting. Malloy was sworn in, repeating the oath to support the U.S. and New York State constitutions and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office of vice president of the board.
The officer elections were taken at the start of the evening's business. Board members debated and cast individual roll-call votes during the process; the clerk announced final tallies before the swearing-in ceremonies. The newly elected officers then presided over later portions of the agenda, including committee chair selections and consideration of annual administrative resolutions.
The meeting record shows no further contested action about the elections themselves. The board proceeded to a brief recess for a group photograph and to continue the agenda on committee chairs and resolutions.
