The Winchester School Board reorganized leadership and ratified routine governance appointments at its Jan. 12 work session.

The board also named Mike Bertinoff vice chairman for 2026 following a nomination by a board member and a voice vote in favor. Superintendent-recommended organizational appointments were approved for the coming year: the clerk will remain Miss Beavis with Miss Felty as deputy clerk, Miss Holly McDonald was named agent of the board and Diana Lillard was named deputy agent, all by voice vote after a motion to approve the slate.
The consent agenda — covering the meeting agenda, minutes, bills, the monthly finance report and authorization of bank signatures — was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
