Loading...
Summary
The New Berlin School District Board swore in new members and by show of hands elected Janet Schulz president, Mitch Helmer vice president, Ron Seidel clerk and Matt Arend treasurer; the president also named delegates, liaisons and committee memberships.
Janet Schulz was re-elected president of the Board of Education of the School District of New Berlin during the board’s reorganization meeting, which also included oaths of office for newly elected members and committee appointments.
The meeting opened at 7 p.m. and included administered oaths for new board members. After nominations, the board used a show-of-hands vote to elect officers: Janet Schulz as president, Mitch Helmer as vice president, Ron Seidel as clerk and Matt Arend as treasurer. "I value your trust, and I'm ready to get back to work," Schulz said after the vote.
Schulz said she would appoint delegates and liaisons and named committee assignments for the coming year, including a finance committee chaired by Matt Arend and a facilities committee chaired by Matt Zielinski. She told the board the routine to default to open-ballot, show-of-hands votes remained in effect unless members moved for a closed ballot.
The reorganization concluded with members accepting assignments to liaison and committee roles. The board then proceeded to the regular agenda items and scheduled a closed session for late in the meeting so newly sworn members could participate.
No formal roll-call tallies for the officer elections were recorded in the public portion of the transcript; the record notes each nomination carried by general assent.
