Centennial School Board elects Pam Shields chair and Will Morey vice chair
Summary
At its July 30 retreat the Centennial School District board elected Pam Shields as chair (4–3) and Will Morey as vice chair (unanimous). Members then took part in a team‑building round of personal introductions before turning to governance and policy work.
Pam Shields was chosen board chair at the Centennial School District’s July 30 retreat after a paper ballot count that read back “4 votes for Pam Shields and 3 votes for [the other nominee].” The board then nominated and unanimously confirmed Will Morey as vice chair.
The meeting opened at 10:02 a.m., when leadership business took precedence over the day’s other agenda items. Ballots were distributed and read aloud; a staff member prepared and collected the ballots and read the votes back to the room prior to the chair announcement. The clerk’s readback recorded the 4–3 result; the transcript records the declaration, “Congratulations, Pam Shields, our next board chair.” (unattributed in the record).
After leadership elections, members participated in a team‑building exercise where each person shared a personal item or story to introduce themselves and explain what motivates their service. New IT staff member Brian DeMars introduced himself and said he will support district technology operations while shadowing current technicians.
No formal policy decisions were made during the leadership segment; the board moved on to a longer governance agenda that included operating agreements, policy review practices and Roadmap '27 planning.
What’s next: Board leadership will coordinate with the superintendent on agendas going forward and integrate members’ priorities into the fall schedule.
