Lee County School Board elects Armour Persons chair, Bill Bridal vice chair
Summary
At its Nov. 4 meeting the Lee County School Board completed its annual reorganization, electing Armour Persons as chair (6–1) and Bill Bridal as vice chair (5–2). The board then moved into regular business, including setting next year—s meeting dates.
Armour Persons was elected chair of the Lee County School Board in a roll-call vote at the board—s Nov. 4 meeting, winning 6–1 after a floor nomination and formal roll call. Bill Bridal was later elected vice chair by a 5–2 vote.
The reorganization followed a procedural explanation from board attorney Dupree Bruno that the superintendent would call for nominations and that votes would be taken by roll call under the board—s rules. Multiple board members were nominated for the chair and vice chair positions before votes were held.
Board members thanked outgoing leaders after the votes. Superintendent Dr. Christopher Carlin turned the meeting over to the new chair following the results and the meeting continued with the regular agenda, including approval of next year—s regular meeting dates.
No motions to reconsider the elections were recorded in the publicly posted transcript. The board—s organizational procedure and the roll-call method were read aloud before nominations were accepted.
