Summary
At its annual reorganization meeting the Northern Lehigh School District board approved Mr. Green as temporary president, read certified election returns for newly elected directors, administered oaths to four members and recorded that one elected director declined a two-year term, creating a vacancy.
The Northern Lehigh School District board convened its annual reorganization meeting and approved a temporary president, certified recent election returns and swore in newly elected directors. During the meeting the board also recorded that one elected director declined a two-year term, leaving an open seat.
The meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance and a roll call that produced a quorum. The chair (speaker 3) read a written notice of reorganization dated Dec. 2, 2025, which scheduled the meeting for Dec. 8, 2025, at 6:45 p.m. at the Northern Lehigh Administration Building boardroom; the notice was signed by board secretary Gailen Cusack.
The chair nominated Mr. Green to serve as temporary president to preside over the reorganization meeting and a motion to close nominations was made and seconded. The board moved to approve Mr. Green as temporary president; the chair announced the motion carried after affirmative responses.
The clerk read a certification of election returns from the Lehigh County Board of Elections as presented to the board. The certification, read at the meeting, listed vote totals and declared the winners for the available four-year director terms. As read aloud at the meeting, the transcript lists vote counts for the candidates and winners; the board accepted the certification as presented.
The board then administered the oath of office to the newly elected directors; the oath language was recited aloud and each new member repeated it, after which staff asked those sworn to sign required forms.
The clerk also noted that a separately certified two-year term was declined by the named individual (Mr. Weber), creating an open seat that the board will need to fill according to applicable procedures.
Procedural details recorded at the meeting included the nomination and approval of the temporary president, the formal reading and acceptance of the county election certification, the administering of oaths, and the notation of the declined two-year term. The board did not take additional board-level action on filling the vacancy during the excerpted portion of the meeting; next steps were not specified in the transcript.
