Summary
Following the swearing-in of newly elected directors, the Kent School District board reorganized: President Margell was elected board president, Director Gregory elected vice president, and Director Song chosen legislative representative to complete a term — all actions taken by roll-call votes Dec. 10.
At its Dec. 10 regular meeting the Kent School District Board of Directors completed reorganization elections following oath ceremonies for two newly elected members.
After oaths of office were administered to Teresa Gregory and Laura Williams, the board held roll-call votes for president, vice president and legislative representative. Voting proceeded by oral roll call with nominees considered individually. President Margell received the required majority and was declared board president; Director Gregory was elected vice president on a unanimous roll-call vote. Director Song was elected legislative representative to fill an unexpired term; administrators clarified that the legislative representative elections are normally on even-numbered years but this selection will finish the prior two-year cycle, resulting in a one-year term in this instance.
The reorganization also included procedural notes on the timing and term length of officer roles and upcoming elections to align with board policy.
What's next: The newly elected officers will serve their terms effective immediately; the board indicated continued attention to governance procedures and scheduled a short break before resuming the agenda.
