Summary
At its April meeting the Stillwater Board of Education elected Dr. Gay Washington president and Rachel Dillon vice president, and the president designated Marshall Baker as executive session minutes clerk. All leadership votes passed on unanimous roll call.
The Stillwater Board of Education on April (date not specified) reorganized its leadership, electing Dr. Gay Washington as board president and Rachel Dillon as vice president.
Board members discussed who could best support the district’s upcoming work, including strategic planning and opening a new high school. After floor nominations, a board member moved to elect Dr. Washington; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with Douglas, Dylan, Wilson, Washington and Baker recorded as voting yes.
Rachel Dillon, who was sworn into Board seat No. 1 earlier in the meeting, was elected vice president in a separate motion that passed unanimously by roll call. After the board authorized the president to designate a member to serve as the executive session minutes clerk, President Washington designated Marshall Baker to continue in that role.
Board members framed the leadership decisions around the district’s calendar and priorities. Marshall Baker said during discussion that both Washington and Dillon would be “incredible leaders” and that timing, duties and the year’s strategic priorities were factors in the conversation. Dr. Washington responded, “I would certainly be honored to do that,” when asked whether she would serve as president.
The reorganization will take effect immediately and the newly elected president will preside over the remainder of the meeting and upcoming board business.
