Honeoye Central School District board swears in members and elects leadership
Summary
Board members took oaths of office, elected Tori Penrod Clark as board president by nomination and approved a nomination for Megan Beisel as vice president; the transcript includes inconsistent spellings for some names that the board minutes should confirm.
The Honeoye Central School District Board of Education opened the meeting with oaths of office for newly elected and reelected members and moved to select board leadership.
A speaker in the transcript read an oath in the form 'I, Megan Bridal, do solemnly swear...' to support the U.S. and New York state constitutions and to faithfully discharge the duties of a board member for the district for the 2025–28 term. Another member, who identified herself as Karen Shields, also took the oath for a 2025–28 term.
During nominations, a board member nominated Tori Penrod Clark for board president; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Because Clark was not present at the meeting, the presiding officer continued with nominations for vice president. A board member nominated Megan Beisel for vice president; the motion was seconded and approved, and an oath was administered to a person whose name appears with variant spellings in the transcript (see note below).
Why this matters: Board leadership sets meeting agendas and committee assignments for the coming year and can influence which items receive early review and board attention.
Board members completed the standard organizational business that customarily follows the seating of new members, including confirming district officers and delegation assignments.
Note on transcript spellings: The meeting transcript contains inconsistent spellings for what appears to be the same individuals (examples include 'Megan Bridal,' 'Megan Basil' and the separately recorded nomination of 'Megan Beisel'). The article reports verbatim spellings as they appear in the transcript and recommends consulting the official board minutes or the district office for the authoritative, post-meeting roster.
