Baldwin-Whitehall board swears in new directors and elects officers at reorganization meeting

The Baldwin-Whitehall School District Board convened a reorganization meeting before its regular session and administered oaths of office to newly elected directors Tara Apt, Karen Brown, Ashley Miller and Amanda Priano. The oath was administered by an on‑site official and each director repeated the pledge to support the U.S. and commonwealth constitutions and to discharge duties with fidelity.

After the oaths, the board opened nominations for officers. Amanda Priano was nominated and elected president after the floor was closed to further nominations; the board recorded the outcome by voice vote with no opposition announced. The board also elected Pete Giglione as first vice president and Karen Brown as second vice president by voice votes. A motion to appoint the solicitor (motion moved and seconded during the reorganization) was also carried.

The temporary president presided only long enough to swear in new directors and oversee the election; the body then recessed for approximately 22 minutes before reconvening for the regular meeting. The board returned to its regular schedule and continued with recognitions, reports and business items.

Procedurally, the reorganization followed standard practice: oath administration for certified winners, nominations, closure of nominations when no further candidates were presented, and voice votes recorded by the presiding official. No roll-call tallies tied to individual board members were recorded in the transcript for the officer elections.
