Summary
The Arlington School Board approved a revised consent agenda (including increases to two line items and addition of a state grants revenue fund) and elected Scott Benjamin as chair, Dr. Dale Vioxx as vice chair and Jonathan Dunn as legislative liaison, all by voice vote.
The Arlington School Board approved its consent agenda and elected new board leadership during its regular meeting.
Board members voted by voice to approve the consent agenda after the chair noted changes to several items: item 7b was updated to add Fund 141 (state grants revenue), and both items 7c and 7h were amended to increase an originally listed $10,000 to $20,000. The board moved, seconded and carried the consent agenda by voice vote.
The meeting then turned to elections for board officers. Scott Benjamin was nominated and, after nominations were closed, was elected to serve as chair for the coming year. Dr. Dale Vioxx was nominated and confirmed as vice chair. Jonathan Dunn was nominated and chosen to serve as the board’s legislative liaison. Each officer was confirmed by a voice vote.
No roll-call tallies were provided in the record; outcomes were announced by the presiding officer as "the ayes have it." The meeting concluded with the chair declaring the session adjourned.
What happens next: The newly elected chair and officers will serve for the board’s upcoming year; the legislative liaison will undertake coordination on state-level issues including items the board flagged for 2026 preparation.
