Ste. Genevieve R-II board member resigns; vice president to serve as president until April election
Summary
A board member submitted a resignation and the board invoked vacancy policy BDE1; the vice president agreed to serve as president until the April 7, 2026 election and a motion to cease nominations was moved at the meeting.
The board addressed an announced vacancy when a member tendered a letter of resignation during the consent/unfinished business portion of the meeting. Board policy BDE1 on vacancies was cited; the vice president agreed to assume the presidency through the April 7, 2026 election.
A motion was moved to "nomination cease" during the discussion; the transcript does not record a formal roll‑call vote or the names of a mover and a seconder. Board members congratulated the incoming acting president.
Why it matters: The shift affects board leadership and the district’s immediate governance. Policy BDE1 provides the local procedure to fill vacancies until the next election, and the board moved to implement that process.
The meeting did not record a detailed vote tally or an explicit appointment vote in the available transcript; the minutes or subsequent meeting record should be consulted for formal roll-call and the identity of any appointed officer.
