Four directors sworn in as Cornwall-Lebanon board reorganizes; Schlegel elected president, Zug vice president
Summary
At the Dec. 1 reorganization meeting the Cornwall-Lebanon School District swore in four newly elected directors, confirmed Ruth Ann Schlegel as board president and Joel W. Zug as vice president, and announced committee assignments and delegate appointments.
At a reorganization meeting Monday evening, the Cornwall-Lebanon School District board swore in four directors and elected its leadership for the coming year.
Judge Long Brightbill administered the oath of office individually to Elizabeth A. Garrett, Susan A. Dieffenbach, Jane Oziak and Joel W. Zug, each of whom repeated the traditional oath "I do solemnly swear or affirm" and signed the official paperwork.
Following the oath, Attorney Gallo served as temporary chair for officer elections. Ruth Ann Schlegel was nominated and elected president by unanimous voice vote after the secretary cast the ballot; Joel W. Zug was later declared vice president after a similar nomination and vote. "I do look forward to continuing the work together and I'm confident that we will continue with the efforts to do what is best for our students," Schlegel said after her election.
Schlegel announced board appointments and delegate assignments: Jean Hentz was named the primary voting delegate to the Lebanon County Tax Collection Committee for a one-year term; Wesley Bensing was appointed as alternate voting delegate; and Diana Carpenter was named the Pennsylvania School Boards Association representative and legislation chairperson for a one-year term. The president also announced committee assignments for building and grounds (Mr. Snyder), community relations and curriculum (Dr. Weiss), extracurricular (Mr. Zug), finance and business (Ms. Carpenter), personnel (Ms. Oziak), policy management (Mr. Thomas), pupil services and food service (Ms. Dieffenbach), and technology and transportation (Ms. Garrett).
The reorganization portion of the meeting adjourned after those actions, with a brief photo break before the board resumed the regular agenda. The board indicated the reorganization items conclude routine start-of-term responsibilities and set the structure for committee oversight and external representation for the coming year.
