Summary
In its organizational session the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board re-elected Torsha Feaster as president and chose Glenda Wilkes as vice president, Leslie Wilkins as secretary and Don Wilkerson as treasurer; all officer votes were taken by paper ballot and read into the record.
During the organizational portion of the meeting, the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education held nominations and paper-ballot votes for officer positions.
Nominations for president included Trustee Susan Schmidt and incumbent President Torsha Feaster, who both made brief statements. Ballots were collected and read aloud; a majority voted to make Torsha Feaster president for the coming term.
Trustee Susan Schmidt nominated Glenda Wilkes for vice president; Wilkes accepted and was elected in a unanimous readout of ballots. Trustee Wilks nominated Leslie Wilkins for secretary; Wilkins was elected. Trustee Rima Mohammed nominated Don Wilkerson for treasurer; Wilkerson was elected and indicated willingness to continue serving in that role, noting the finance-committee responsibilities that accompany the office.
Miss Ozinski administered the oath of office after the elections. President Feaster then proceeded with appointing Trustee Rima Mohammed as parliamentarian after Mohammed offered to serve. The board moved on to committee assignments, calendar items and adjourned later in the evening.
The board followed the procedures it announced earlier in the meeting: nominations opened and closed for each office, nominees could make brief statements, trustees voted by paper ballot, ballots were read aloud by the clerk, and the majority determined winners.
