Summary
The board accepted the certified election canvas and administered oaths of office to Julie Quandt, Nick Fiala and Monica Malmberg; the Nov. 4 bond measure DG was read into the record as passing with 74.9% support.
The Dallas Center‑Grimes board formally accepted the certified results of the Nov. 4 school election and administered oaths of office to newly elected board members.
Ms. Wormuth read the canvas into the record: for Director At‑Large Julie Quandt received 1,264 votes (reported as "12 64" in the record), William Ruble received 713 and there were eight scattered votes; Nick Fiala received 511 votes for Director District 1; Monica Malmberg received 631 votes for Director District 2. The board moved to accept the canvass and the motion carried by voice vote.
The board publicly swore in the three members. Each new director responded "I will" when asked to support the U.S. and Iowa constitutions and to faithfully discharge duties as a school district director. The board also recognized outgoing board member Brandon Boone for four years of service and presented a photo opportunity and informal remarks of appreciation.
The board recorded that the public measure DG — an $88,000,000 general obligation bond — received 2,163 votes in favor and 748 opposed, a 74.9% approval rate, as read into the record by Ms. Wormuth.
The swearing‑in and acceptance of the canvas were procedural actions taken to finalize the election. No contest or challenge to the results was recorded at the meeting.
