Board appoints Ryan Telshaw to fill Somerset School District vacancy
Summary
After ranking ballots, the board selected Ryan Telshaw to fill a vacant Somerset School District board seat and administered the oath of office; the appointment followed a multi-round ranking process conducted by board members.
Ryan Telshaw was chosen by the Somerset School Board to fill the vacancy on the district’s seven-member board and immediately took the oath of office.
The board completed a ranked-ballot selection process during the meeting, after which the chair announced Telshaw as the selected appointee and administered the oath. Board members then welcomed him to the table.
The selection followed interviews with nine candidates earlier in the meeting. Candidates emphasized board priorities including improving board communication, supporting staff, curriculum oversight and fiscal responsibility. During interviews some candidates spoke to whether they would support a levy or referendum to close a reported district budget shortfall; several said raising taxes would be a last resort.
The board did not record a formal motion text or a final roll-call tally for the appointment in the public minutes beyond the announced result and the subsequent oath. Telshaw’s oath and swearing-in were confirmed on the record.
