Matt Haney elected board president as SFUSD transitions leadership for 2016
Summary
The San Francisco Unified School District board elected Commissioner Matt Haney president and Shamone Walton vice president for 2016, followed by brief remarks from new leadership and routine approvals of minutes and procedures.
Matt Haney was elected president of the San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education during the board’s reorganizational meeting, succeeding the outgoing president who reviewed the board’s 2015 accomplishments. The board confirmed Haney by roll-call vote after Commissioner Feuer nominated him; the record shows the vote was unanimous among the seven members present.
The board also nominated and confirmed Shamone Walton as vice president. After the election, Haney thanked his predecessor and colleagues, acknowledged family members in the audience and said he looked forward to leading meetings that move “both smoothly and very quickly.” The board then approved the minutes from the Dec. 8 regular meeting by roll call.
The leadership transition took place early in the evening agenda and was followed by routine business. No contested nominations or recorded dissents are shown in the transcript.
