Board appoints Bobby Gulich to fill Zone 1 vacancy
Summary
The Huntsville School District board appointed Bobby Gulich to the vacant Zone 1 seat after an executive-session discussion. Gulich was invited to take the seat immediately but may be unable to vote until re‑sworn at the courthouse, according to the board.
The Huntsville School District board voted to appoint Bobby Gulich to the vacant Zone 1 seat at its Dec. 2 meeting.
Board members said they discussed the vacancy in executive session before returning to move to fill the post. A board member moved to appoint Gulich; another member seconded the motion. Following brief procedural remarks the board indicated the appointment carried and invited Gulich to take the seat.
Board members noted Gulich may not be able to vote at the meeting because he must be re‑sworn at the courthouse before voting; the chair said he could nevertheless take the seat immediately. Gulich, who spoke to the board about his ties to Saint Paul and long involvement with the schools, thanked members for their kindness.
The motion and second are recorded in the meeting transcript; an explicit roll‑call tally was not read aloud in the portions of the transcript provided. The board directed that swearing‑in logistics take place at the courthouse.
Next steps: Gulich will be sworn in before the county courthouse and will assume voting duties after that formal step, per board remarks at the meeting.
