Rainier School Board swears in appointee, elects chair and vice chair
Summary
The Rainier School District 13 board formally swore in Ed Gino as an appointed board member and elected Eric Shimel as board chair and Christine Usher as vice chair during its June 10 meeting. The board also discussed public-comment rules and approved the meeting agenda.
Ed Gino was sworn in as an appointed member of the Rainier School District 13 board on June 10, repeating the oath to support the U.S. and Oregon constitutions and to uphold district policies.
Following the swearing-in, the board filled officer vacancies under district policy BCB. A board member nominated Eric Shimel for board chair; the board voted in favor (transcript recorded as four yes, zero no). Christine Usher was nominated and approved as vice chair (vote recorded in the record as five yes, zero no). The board then reviewed public-comment procedures — including a three-minute limit and guidance that complaints be routed through administration — and approved the meeting agenda by voice vote.
Board members took turns offering appreciation for Superintendent Dr Hatrick, who used his superintendent report to announce his resignation and reflect on improvements during his tenure. The meeting proceeded into financial and operational reports.
