Tredyffrin-Easttown School Board elects Todd Kentorsick president, Sue Tiede vice president in uncontested votes
Summary
At its Dec. 22 reorganization meeting, the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District board unanimously elected Todd Kentorsick president and Sue Tiede vice president in uncontested roll-call votes, approved the consent agenda, and scheduled committee meetings for January.
Todd Kentorsick was elected president of the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District Board of Directors at the board's Dec. 22, 2024 reorganization meeting and took over the meeting immediately after the roll-call vote. The board conducted the vote after nominations, and the motion to elect Kentorsick carried 9–0.
Board member Roberta Hotinski, serving as temporary presiding officer, opened the meeting and explained public-comment rules and election procedures under Board Policy 9131. An unnamed board member nominated Kentorsick for president, and Kentorsick accepted the nomination; because there was a single nominee, the board conducted a roll-call vote rather than a written ballot as described in Policy 9131.
After the vote, Kentorsick thanked board members and said he looked forward to the coming year, calling the past year “very eventful” and saying he considered it an “honor and privilege” to work with the board. The board then opened nominations for vice president. Sue Tiede was nominated based on her committee work and prior service; the roll-call vote for vice president carried 9–0.
“Sue Tiede” said briefly after her election that it is “an honor to serve with this board” and that she looked forward to the year ahead with President Kentorsick. (Quote uses phrasing from the meeting record.)
The board approved the consent agenda as printed on the meeting materials by voice vote. Committee chairs reported scheduling: the education committee canceled its December meeting and will meet Jan. 9, 2025 to discuss middle-school schedule recommendations and insertion of a STEM program; the intermediate school technical school's next meeting was noted for the third Wednesday in January. Solicitor Ken Roos announced there were no required Sunshine Act announcements and said the board had not met in executive session earlier that evening.
The board set future regular meeting dates for Jan. 2 and Jan. 27, 2025, both to be held at Conestoga High School, and then adjourned by voice vote. No public comments were offered during the reserved comment periods for the officer elections or for non-agenda matters.
