Summary

At the Dec. 1 meeting the Lincoln Board of Education elected William Joyner as board chair and Tommy Sanders as vice chair after floor nominations; both leadership votes were taken by voice and announced by the board attorney.

The Lincoln Board of Education reorganized its leadership at its Dec. 1 meeting. A board member nominated "mister Bill Joyner" for chair and, after a voice vote, the attorney announced that Joyner had been elected chair. The attorney then opened nominations and, following a nomination for Tommy Sanders, the board voted by voice to elect Sanders as vice chair.

The attorney explained the reorganization procedure under board policy 2010 before calling for nominations, including options for voting order and the use of recorded ballots if the board so chose. Nominations came from the floor and a majority vote was required to elect officers.

Both elections were handled as routine reorganization business at the start of the board's December meeting. No ballots or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; votes were taken by voice with members signaling agreement.
