Gateway School District board swears in members; Leslie McBride elected president, Missus Warning elected vice president
Summary
At an organizational meeting, the Gateway School District board administered oaths to newly elected members and elected Leslie McBride president (5–4) and Missus Warning vice president (6–3). The board also took photos and set a short executive session after adjournment.
Leslie McBride was elected president of the Gateway School District Board of Education and sworn in alongside other new members during the board’s organizational meeting. Ballots read into the public record showed McBride received five votes to Mister Ritter’s four; a separate ballot for vice president produced a 6–3 result in favor of Missus Warning.
The meeting opened with holdover members taking nominations for a temporary president and naming Mister Ritter to preside while the board organized. Newly seated members repeated the oath of office pledging to support the constitutions of the United States and Pennsylvania and to discharge their duties with fidelity.
Ballots were read aloud by a public-record reader, who announced individual votes. The reader reported the president tally as McBride 5, Ritter 4; the vice-president tally was reported as Warning 6, Burns 3. Following the results, board members exchanged congratulations and posed for official photographs; the board planned a short executive session immediately after adjournment.
The actions recorded during the meeting were procedural and organizational: swearing in of new members, election of board officers and related public-record vote tallies. No additional policy votes were taken as part of the officer elections.
