Manheim Township board appoints Ramon Rivera to fill seat through Dec. 2027
Summary
After two rounds of voting at a special meeting, the Manheim Township School Board selected Ramon Rivera to fill a vacancy beginning Dec. 11, 2025. The board followed a sequential‑elimination nomination process and then took a formal roll‑call appointment vote.
The Manheim Township School Board voted to appoint Ramon Rivera to a vacancy on the board, filling a term beginning Dec. 11, 2025, and running through the first Monday in December 2027.
Board President opened the floor for nominations and explained the process: if multiple candidates are nominated, the board will hold successive rounds of voting and drop the lowest vote‑getters until one candidate achieves a majority. Miss Lam nominated Adam Posey, citing his experience with STEM programming and scholarship work. Dr. McCarthy nominated Soroya Hintz, noting her experience as a classroom educator and substitute teacher. Miss Woodbury nominated Carlos Corneal and another member nominated Ramon Rivera.
The board conducted a first round of roll‑call preference votes and the president reported the counts: three votes for Carlos Corneal, one for Soroya Hintz, one for Adam Posey and three for Ramon Rivera. Under the pre‑announced procedure the two low‑vote candidates (Hintz and Posey) were removed. In the second round, board members again stated preferences; the president tallied five votes for Ramon Rivera and three for Carlos Corneal and announced Rivera as the selected candidate.
A motion to appoint a board member to fill the vacancy beginning 12/11/2025 and ending in 2027 was moved and seconded and the board took a formal roll‑call vote; the president announced the motion carried and welcomed Ramon Rivera to the board.
The appointment follows the board’s stated procedure for filling mid‑term vacancies and concludes a nomination process that emphasized classroom experience and board diversity. The board will include Rivera at the next regular meeting and update administrative records to reflect the appointment.
The board did not identify or read into the record any resignation or formal cause for the vacancy during the special meeting. The board’s next regular meeting was announced as Thursday, Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. at the district office.
