Summary
At a school board meeting, Judge Hofakett administered oaths to a newly sworn-in board member identified in the record as Brady Johnson (also referred to as 'Brandy Johnson') and acknowledged the reelection of Mr. Kroll; the district welcome was recorded in the transcript as 'Dewey Public Schools.'
Deming Public Schools officials administered oaths of office to a newly elected board member and recognized a reelected colleague during a ceremonial portion of the district board meeting.
The Honorable Judge Hofakett administered the oath as the new member repeated the pledge of office, saying, "I, Brady Johnson, do solemnly swear..." and concluding, "So help me God." The meeting record also shows the chair referring to the new member earlier as "miss Brandy Johnson," a discrepancy noted in the meeting transcript.
The meeting also acknowledged the reelection of "Mr. Kroll" to another term. A second oath sequence repeated the same pledge language and ended with "So help me God," consistent with the ceremonial administration of oaths to seated or returning board members.
An unidentified meeting participant remarked, "Charles put us back in the news," but the comment was not developed further during the meeting record.
At the close of the ceremony a speaker welcomed the newly sworn-in member "on behalf of Dewey Public Schools" as recorded in the transcript; the district name appears in the meeting record that way, but the correct district name is DEMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
No votes, motions, or policy decisions are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the section covers the ceremonial swearing-in and brief remarks only. The board proceeded with the program after the oaths were administered.
