Board administers oaths and conducts officer nominations amid pledge of standards
Summary
Board members were sworn in, and the board called for nominations for president, vice president and secretary; one board member on the record said he would not support a nominee citing 'untrue statements' and standards.
The Jefferson City School Board completed administration of the oath to board members and moved through nominations for board officers.
An administrator led board members through a ceremonial oath affirming support for the U.S. Constitution and service to county and state; the motion and a voice affirmation ('Aye') were recorded on the meeting record.
The chair then called for nominations for president, vice president and secretary and for the district's School Boards Association delegate and alternate. Multiple nominees were named for various posts, including Brad Bates, Scott Hobas, Eric Leonard, Susan Luther, Lindsay Roberts and Erica Munner. During nominations, one board member explained he would not support a particular nominee, saying recent personal comments and "untrue statements" had crossed a line and that his vote was based on maintaining public trust.
The meeting proceeded with further officer nominations and confirmations; where votes were taken in the transcript they were conducted by voice and specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the available text.
