Jan Kessinger elected Blue Valley board president; Klay Nori elected vice president
Summary
Nominees were unopposed and the board voted to elect Jan Kessinger president and Klay Nori vice president for terms beginning July 1, 2026. Board members said a one‑year cycle (with discussion of two‑year consistency) guides leadership selection.
The Blue Valley Board of Education elected Jan Kessinger as board president and Klay Nori as vice president for one‑year terms beginning July 1, 2026.
The clerk announced Jan Kessinger as the nominee for president; with no additional nominations, the board moved and seconded a motion to elect Kessinger. The motion was moved by Jody and seconded by Gina; the board recorded the vote in favor by voice. "All in favor of Jan Kessinger as president?" the presiding officer asked; the board answered in the affirmative and Jan was elected.
For vice president, Klay Nori was the sole nominee; the board voted to elect Nori to a one‑year term, with a motion moved by Jody and seconded by Dr. Benson.
Board members commented that some prefer a two‑year presidential term to provide continuity — especially with a new superintendent — but the board proceeded with the one‑year elections held June 8.
What happens next: Jan Kessinger and Klay Nori assume their roles on July 1, 2026.
