Schuylkill Valley School District directors administered oaths of office to newly elected and re-elected members and elected their leadership for the coming term.
Temporary president Franklin M. Amaral administered the oath to Linda R. Lash, Joe Brown, Lauren J. Matthews and Carolee Wint, who were sworn in for terms shown on the district roster. With nominations closed, board members elected Carolee Wint as president by acclamation; Franklin M. Amaral was later elected vice president by acclamation.
In brief remarks after her election, President Wint said she hoped to restore communication and trust across the district: "Teachers are the first line of defense in knowing our students," she said, urging better communication between teachers, principals, administrators and the board. Wint called for mutual respect and transparent governance so the board can support staff, approve policies and ensure resources reach classrooms.
The board then confirmed committee assignments and representative appointments for county and vocational committees. The swearing-in and leadership elections were procedural steps to begin the board’s work for the next term.
