Camille Simmons was elected president of the Rochester City School District Board of Education on a 6–1 roll‑call vote at the board’s 2026 organizational meeting and shortly afterward took the oath of office. The board also elected Amy Malloy vice president in a separate roll‑call tally of 4–3 and appointed Commissioner Santiago chair of the audit committee.

The meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance led by Superintendent Dr. Eric J. Rosser and the ceremonial swearing in of three commissioners: Heather Feynman, Kareemba McCullough and Camille Simmons. Nominations for board president followed; Commissioner Kareemba McCullough nominated Camille Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Amy Malloy. After closing nominations, the clerk conducted a roll‑call vote in alphabetical order and recorded a 6–1 result in favor of Simmons.

After the vote the board administered the oath to Simmons. The board then opened nominations for vice president. Commissioner LeBron nominated Commissioner Santiago; Commissioner Malloy was also nominated for the post. A first roll‑call on Commissioner Santiago did not carry, and a subsequent vote elected Amy Malloy by a 4–3 margin. General Counsel administered Malloy’s oath virtually.

Following a short recess, the board selected an audit committee chair. Nominations produced a roll‑call vote that elected Commissioner Santiago to that chair by a 5–2 vote. The meeting concluded with adoption, by voice vote and with no discussion, of annual resolutions numbered 3‑48 through 3‑64.

Votes and formal outcomes recorded at the meeting were: election of Camille Simmons as president, election of Amy Malloy as vice president, appointment of Commissioner Santiago as audit committee chair, and adoption of resolutions 3‑48 through 3‑64. The meeting adjourned afterward.
