Hartford UHS board elects Nolan Jacket president in 3–2 secret ballot
Summary
At its May meeting the Hartford UHS School District board completed annual reorganization: Nolan Jacket was elected board president (3–2 secret ballot); Kenneth (last name recorded variously) won vice president by the same margin; Jenny Gillan and Heather Barry were approved unanimously as treasurer and clerk, respectively.
Nolan Jacket was elected president of the Hartford UHS School District board after a secret-ballot vote at the board’s May meeting, defeating fellow nominee Tiffany Stapleton three votes to two. The board opened nominations and, following verbal acceptance by both nominees, conducted a written ballot under board policy; the chair read the count aloud.
The same secret-ballot process produced a 3–2 result for vice president, with the candidate identified in the meeting transcript as Kenneth receiving three votes and Tiffany Stapleton two. Jenny Gillan was nominated and approved unanimously by voice vote as board treasurer. Heather Barry accepted nomination and was confirmed unanimously as clerk.
The board also named Tiffany Stapleton deputy treasurer and deputy clerk, approved Heather Barry as the lead negotiator for the Hartford Educators Association, and designated Tiffany Stapleton as backup negotiator; those appointments were approved by voice votes. The board chair reviewed board policy 0152 and described the nomination, acceptance and voting process prior to selecting officers.
The reorganizational votes were taken in public session and recorded in the meeting minutes. The board moved quickly from officer elections into regular business and then adjourned to closed session later in the evening for contract negotiations and personnel matters.
