Lee's Summit R‑VII swears in new members, elects Stacy Myers president and debates MSBA Region 4 nomination
Loading...
Summary
At its reorganization session April 7 the Lee's Summit R‑VII Board of Education administered oaths to newly elected directors, elected Stacy Myers board president and Erica/Bridal Miller vice president, and debated (but did not forward) a Region 4 MSBA board nomination.
During the board's reorganization session April 7, the newly elected directors repeated the oath of office for Reorganized School District No. 7, Jackson County, and the board completed its officer elections.
The temporary chair opened nominations for board president and vice president under board policy and Robert's Rules–style procedures. Vice President Miller nominated Stacy Myers for board president; Myers accepted and the board elected her by voice vote. Camille Johnson nominated Erica/Bridal Miller for vice president; Miller accepted and was elected by voice vote.
The board also amended the agenda to add a nomination item for Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA) Region 4. Board member Roderick K. Sparks (speaker 31) moved to nominate himself for the Region 4 MSBA board of directors. Members asked for information about duties, time commitment and expenses; MSBA staff explained the role typically requires four meetings in Columbia per year (two-to-three days each), and that MSBA reimburses travel and lodging. Multiple board members expressed concern that the item arrived on short notice and asked for more time to vet candidates.
The board took a voice vote on forwarding Sparks' application to Region 4; the transcript records at least two 'nay' responses with no recorded 'aye' responses. The chair concluded the evening's business and the meeting adjourned after the organizational work was complete.
