King George County School Board elects Colleen Davis as chair, adopts calendar and names committee representatives
Summary
At its organizational meeting, the King George County School Board elected Colleen Davis chair and Carrie Cleveland vice chair, appointed VSBA delegates and committee representatives, adopted an annual meeting calendar and made administrative appointments including clerk, deputy clerk, agent and superintendent’s designee.
Colleen Davis was elected chair of the King George County School Board during the board’s organizational meeting. An unnamed board member nominated Davis for chair, saying, “I would like to nominate Colleen Davis for chairman.” The nomination was put to a roll-call vote and the motion carried.
The board also elected Carrie Cleveland as vice chair after an unnamed member recommended her for the position and the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The chair and vice chair were then appointed as the district’s delegates to the Virginia School Boards Association conference, with the chair serving as delegate and Cleveland as alternate.
Board members moved through a slate of appointments to regional and advisory bodies. Colleen Davis was appointed to represent the district at the Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School; Carrie Cleveland was appointed to the Commonwealth Governor’s School. The board named members to advisory committees including the Academy of Technology and Innovation (ATI), the CTE advisory board, the gifted and talented committee, the special education advisory committee, the health advisory committee, the Title I advisory committee and a new library materials review committee. Nominations included Rachel Scott and Kathy Hoover for specific advisory roles, and Ed Frank was nominated for multiple advisory assignments. Each nomination was seconded and approved.
The board adopted its annual meeting calendar, which staff presented as generally scheduling two meetings per month with one meeting in November and one in December, and with the possibility of special meetings or work sessions added later. A member noted a planned absence on July 6; the calendar was approved as presented.
Administrative appointments included the nomination and approval of Erin Scalp as clerk and Doctor Boyd as deputy clerk. Jennifer Brody was approved as the board’s agent and Doctor Boyd was also approved as deputy agent. The board authorized Elizabeth Uzerski as the superintendent’s designee; the transcript contains variant spellings for that name but the board recorded the nomination and approval during the meeting.
A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the board voted to adjourn and the meeting ended.
The organizational meeting established the board’s leadership, its representation to external education bodies, committee assignments and the calendar that will guide its meetings for the year ahead. No formal policy changes or budgetary decisions were made during this session.
