Granite Falls School Board administers oaths to new and returning directors
Summary
The Granite Falls School Board held a swearing-in for several directors Dec. 10. Peter Z. LeDoux (District 1) and Caroline Penegas (District 3) took oaths; two other director seats were sworn — one name was not clearly recorded in the transcript and one appears only by first name.
The Granite Falls School Board administered oaths of office at the start of its Dec. 10 meeting, formalizing the terms of new and returning directors.
Peter Z. LeDoux was sworn in as Director of District 1 for a four-year term. Caroline Penegas affirmed her oath as Director of District 3 for a four-year unexpired term. Each recited or accepted the standard oath to "support the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington" and to "faithfully and impartially perform and discharge the duties of the office." The oath was administered by Dr. Giesland, who read the official language aloud.
The board also administered an oath for Director District 4 for a two-year unexpired term; the swornee's full name is not specified in the recorded segments of the transcript. A separate oath was given for Director District 5; the individual is referred to in the transcript by the first name "Carly," but a full, unambiguous surname is not recorded in the oath segments.
The swearing-in completed Item 2a on the agenda. Minutes reflect the procedural nature of the action — taking the oath and recording term lengths — and no votes or motions were required to enact the oaths. The board then paused briefly for a group photograph before moving on to routine business.
Attendance noted at the start of the meeting included student representatives Serenity Roth, Catherine Westfall, Charlie Roane and Elijah Seiler.
