The Northville Board of Education reorganized its leadership Tuesday, electing Trustee Karen Meyer as board president and confirming several officer assignments for 2026.
A board member nominated Karen Meyer for president; with no other nominations, the board moved motion 69 to elect her. The ballot was uncontested and, per the meeting record, the motion carried 6–0.
Trustee Melissa Stewart was advanced and elected vice president (motion 70), Lisa McIntyre was nominated and elected treasurer (motion 71), and Dr. Campbell Voetel was elected secretary (motion 72). Each motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board also adopted the meeting agenda (motion 73) and approved the consent agenda, including minutes from the Dec. 16, 2025 regular and closed-session meetings (motion 74).
Board members discussed committee and liaison assignments following the officer elections. Members noted daytime meeting conflicts for some liaisons and volunteered to swap assignments or serve as backups. Several trustees asked that a written list of liaison roles be circulated for clarity.
The organizational actions were presented as routine governance items; no formal dissent or amendments to the motions were recorded.
What happens next: Newly elected officers will assume their roles for the coming year and the board will proceed with scheduled committee work and strategic-planning sessions.
