Smolin elected board president as trustees swear in Dr. Steven Pietro Longo
Summary
At a special organizational meeting, trustees sworn in Dr. Steven Pietro Longo, elected Tonya Smolin board president and Philip Gibran clerk, and approved committee assignments and signatory authorities by unanimous roll call.
Tonya Smolin was elected president of the Simi Valley Unified School District Board of Education after trustees held a special organizational meeting and conducted roll-call votes.
Trustee Dr. Steven Pietro Longo — who the board noted had been sworn in the previous day — participated in the ceremonial swearing and was welcomed by colleagues. Following the oath, trustees moved to select Smolin as board president. The motion passed by roll-call with affirmative votes from Trustee Jesse James, Trustee Dr. Steven Pietro Longo, Trustee Resnick, Trustee Philip Gibran and President Smolin.
Trustee Philip Gibran was then nominated and elected clerk of the board. The board also reviewed and confirmed committee assignments: Trustee James will continue on the Ventura County Committee on School District Organization; Trustees Resnick and Gibran will serve on the finance committee; President Smolin and Trustee Pietro Longo will serve on the facilities subcommittee; Smolin will represent the district on the Simi Valley Education Foundation board with Trustee Pietro Longo as alternate; Smolin will sit on the Simi Valley task force on homelessness; and Smolin will serve on the tri-agency committee with Clerk Gibran as alternate.
The board approved which officers will be authorized signatories for district documents to reflect the newly seated trustee. All procedural motions for the reorganization and signatory authorities were adopted by roll-call votes with no recorded opposition.
The board adjourned the organizational portion of the meeting and moved into the evening’s regular agenda.
