District 70 swears in three new directors; Anne Bennett elected president, AJ Wilson vice president
Summary
Pueblo County School District 70 swore in Michelle Erickson (Dist. 3), Mark Emery (Dist. 4) and Anne Bennett (Dist. 5). Anne Bennett was elected board president in a 3–2 secret‑ballot vote; AJ Wilson was elected vice president. Kimberly Rain was appointed secretary and treasurer.
Pueblo County School District 70 on its December regular meeting swore in three newly elected board directors and reorganized its leadership. Michelle Erickson (District 3), Mark Emery (District 4) and Anne Bennett (District 5) each took the oath to uphold the U.S. and Colorado constitutions and signed confidentiality affidavits before taking their seats at the board table.
Board members then elected leadership by secret ballot. Anne Bennett won the board presidency on a 3–2 vote after nominations that included Michelle Erickson. AJ Wilson was elected vice president by the same margin in a separate secret‑ballot vote. The board also moved to appoint Kimberly Rain as board secretary and as board treasurer; both appointments were approved by roll‑call votes.
The reorganizational items were handled at the start of the meeting and followed the board’s standard process for nominations and secret ballots. The board will next meet on Jan. 13, 2026, at the district Educational Services Center.
Actions at the meeting match the board’s stated agenda: swearing in elected directors, electing officers by secret ballot and confirming administrative officer appointments. No formal challenges to those outcomes were recorded in the transcript.
