Two new directors sworn in; board fills officer posts at Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12
Summary
Dr. Jessica Leman and Kara Mihal were sworn in as school directors. The board then held officer elections, appointing Betsy Kleiner as vice president, Michael Grage as treasurer and Karen Hall as secretary; one presidential vote was held with the presiding officer recorded as abstaining in the meeting transcript.
Dr. Jessica Leman and Kara Mihal took the oath of office for school director at a Cheyenne Mountain School District No. 12 board meeting, each repeating the standard pledge to uphold the constitutions of the United States and the State of Colorado and "the laws made pursuant thereto."
Both new directors repeated the oath word for word after the administering official: "I, Jessica Leman, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully perform the duties of the office of school director for Cheyenne Mountain School District 12 as required by law," and similarly for Kara Mihal.
The swearing-in followed brief remarks and a joint farewell from outgoing members identified in the transcript as Nissa and Randy Casease, who said, "Together, we want to express our deep gratitude for the privilege of serving on this board." Superintendent Dr. P praised the departing members for sustained service and singled out one of them, saying, "Nissa has approached every decision and discussion with a clear purpose to do what is right for kids."
After the oaths, the board conducted officer elections. The transcript records nominations and voice votes for president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Betsy Kleiner was nominated and approved as vice president; Michael Grage was nominated and approved as treasurer; Karen Hall was nominated and approved as secretary. The meeting record shows the presiding officer abstaining from the president vote; the transcript does not supply a clear, unambiguous full name for the newly elected president in the posted segment.
The board also appointed Dr. Betsy Kleiner as its representative to the district accreditation and accountability committee and confirmed that Michael Grage will serve as the district delegate to the Colorado Association of School Boards.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the officer elections; no further personnel changes were recorded. The board adjourned at the end of the session.
