Summary
At its Dec. 2 reorganization meeting, the Fox Chapel Area School District board read certificates of election, administered oaths to newly elected directors, and elected board officers including a temporary president and the reelected board president and vice president.
The Fox Chapel Area School District board met Dec. 2 for its reorganization and combined business meeting, during which certificates of election were read, oaths of office were administered and officers were chosen for the coming year.
District officials read the Allegheny County return board certificates confirming that Amy Cooper, Adam Good, Jessica Hasselcorn and Ariel Zich had been duly elected to their respective Fox Chapel school director seats. District Magistrate Matt Rudsky administered the group oath of office to the newly elected directors, who affirmed support for the U.S. and Commonwealth constitutions and pledged to discharge their duties with fidelity.
During the holdover-member reorganization, the board nominated and elected Eric Hamilton as temporary president. Later in the meeting the board held nominations and roll-call votes for permanent officers: the transcript records Miss Dadd as reelected board president, Mr. Frank as vice president and Vanessa Lynch as assistant secretary. Members formally welcomed the reelected and newly seated members after each vote.
The reorganization also included committee appointments. The board appointed two representatives to the Beatty Joint Operating Committee after members cast votes: Ron Frank received 9 votes, Amy Cooper received 5 votes and Katie Finley received 4 votes; Mr. Frank and Mrs. Cooper were named to the committee. Ariel Zich was elected the district’s Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) legislative representative.
The board adjourned the reorganization portion and reconvened for the combined agenda/study and regular business meeting that followed.
