Summary
At its organizational meeting the Mill Creek Township Board of School Directors elected Jason Dean as temporary president and Gary J. Winchell as board president for 2026, elected Mike Lindner as vice president, appointed PSBA representative and foundation/nonvoting trustee roles, and amended the reorganization meeting time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m.; motions passed by voice votes.
The Mill Creek Township Board of School Directors completed its organizational business at the meeting, electing board leadership and approving committee appointments and the 2026 meeting calendar.
A motion to appoint Jason Dean as temporary board president was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Following nominations, Gary J. Winchell was elected board president for 2026 and Mike Lindner was elected vice president; both nominations were seconded and approved by voice votes.
The board discussed and confirmed appointments including the PSBA representative and legislative chair (the board thanked the outgoing representative, identified as Mister Brink) and the Mill Creek Education Foundation non-voting trustee; the transcript records that Mister Linder indicated he would continue in the non-voting trustee role and the board accepted that continuation. Board members Sally Newshem and Sue Ellen Pascual were noted as retaining seats as liaisons to Township Park and Recreation.
The board also amended the published committee/board meeting calendar to move the reorganization meeting time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m.; the amendment was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote. The board then approved the amended calendar for 2026.
Why it matters: Leadership and committee appointments determine who sets agendas, represents the district to external organizations (for example PSBA), and coordinates committee work. The calendar change affects when members and the public will meet early next year.
What the transcript shows and does not show: The transcript records nominations, seconds and voice approvals for each leadership and appointment item; it does not list roll-call vote counts or identify the mover/second by full name in all cases beyond the spoken nominations. Specific job descriptions for the PSBA representative or the foundation trustee were not read into the record at this meeting.
Ending: The board completed reorganizational votes and left scheduling notes for January committee meetings; no further substantive policy action was taken in this segment.
