The Downingtown Area School District Board held its reorganization meeting and elected Director Blust as board president and Director Houghton as vice president. Nominations were made from the floor and approved by voice vote. The board also agreed to revisit committee assignments for the coming year; the president said he will contact members to record their preferences.

Board members discussed the timing of the April meeting, with several noting it falls close to the school break. Members agreed to consider moving the meeting earlier in that week; multiple participants settled on 'Monday, the thirtieth' as a preferred option. The reorganization portion of the meeting was adjourned and the board moved into its regular session.

The meeting included a brief swearing-in of board members conducted with a judge present (the transcript identifies the person as 'Judge Feldman' in one passage and shows a variant spelling elsewhere). The board reviewed its schedule of executive sessions held earlier in the year and announced the next committee of the whole on Jan. 7, 2026, and the next regular meeting on Jan. 14, 2026, both in the James E. Watson Staff Development Room.
