Board elects chair, names vice chair and keeps advertised meeting schedule
Summary
At its Nov. 18 reorganization meeting the Nassau County School Board approved Gail Cook as chair, named Joe Zimmerman vice chair and voted to keep the previously advertised regular meeting calendar; the board also agreed to a Feb. 10 joint meeting with Fernandina Beach.
Gail Cook was approved as chair at the Nassau County School Board’s Nov. 18 reorganization meeting after the board closed nominations and adopted her nomination by voice vote. The vote was called by Dr. Kathy Burns, who said she would chair the meeting temporarily until new leadership was selected.
The board also nominated and approved Joe Zimmerman for vice chair by voice vote. After brief discussion about meeting cadence — some members said twice‑monthly meetings help handle pressing business while others cited staff burden — the board voted to keep the regular meeting schedule as it had been advertised.
Dr. Kathy Burns outlined joint‑meeting date options with neighboring municipalities and said Fernandina Beach offered Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m.; the board agreed to add that date to their calendars and to confirm other proposed dates once the municipalities provided them. No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; outcomes were recorded as voice approvals.
