Board moves to fill vacancy; honors longtime secretary Darla Barr and adjourns
Summary
The board announced a vacancy following David Bova’s resignation, heard applicant names, a motion to appoint 'Flo Qua' was made (no vote shown), the board offered a tribute to Bloomsdale Elementary secretary Darla Barr and paused for a moment of silence before adjourning with a roll-call vote recorded as 'Motion carries.'
The board announced a vacancy created by the resignation of David Bova and listed applicants Philip Quon and Rachel Stewart to fill the seat through the term ending April 2027. A board member moved to appoint "Flo Qua" to the position and the motion was recorded; the transcript does not include a vote result for the appointment.
Later in the meeting the chair delivered an extended tribute to Darla Barr, a longtime building secretary at Bloomsdale Elementary. The chair described Barr’s daily efforts supporting students, families and staff and said her loss will be deeply felt; the board observed a moment of silence in her honor.
As the meeting closed, a motion to adjourn the open session was made and seconded; the chair called roll and six members (Jamie, Josh, Eric, Jared, Martha and Jeff) answered "Yes," and the chair stated, "Motion carries."
Why it matters: Filling a board vacancy determines representation for district residents through April 2027; memorializing a longtime staff member publicly acknowledges the role support staff play in school communities.
