Camdenton R-III board certifies April election, installs officers at reorganizational meeting

The Camdenton R-III Board of Education convened an April 13, 2026 reorganizational meeting and regular session and certified the April 7 election results. After adjourning the retiring board, members moved to dissolve the prior board and appoint Superintendent Brett Thompson as chairman of the reorganized board. The motion carried by voice vote.

Board members nominated officers for the coming year. Troy Risner was nominated and elected board president after a motion to close nominations and a show of hands. Members appointed Kelly (transcript shows spellings “Cali”/“Galihenzy”) as vice president by acclamation, Jacob Nushi as treasurer, and Shelley Creed as secretary; a five-year term for Linda (surname varies in the transcript) as secretary-related appointment was also recorded and approved by roll call. The board also designated an MSBA delegate and alternate for the district.

The board approved routine procedural matters including the meeting agenda and minutes from March 2, March 24 and a special session on April 2. After business on the reorganizational items, the meeting proceeded to consent items and regular agenda matters.

The board's actions on officer elections and certification were taken by majority voice and roll-call votes where recorded. The meeting transitioned to reports and new business after officer installation; an executive session was called at the end of the public meeting.

Next procedural steps cited in the meeting calendar include an annual CIP stakeholder review scheduled for April 21 and a special meeting for classified staff evaluations on April 28.
