Ocean View board swears in provisional appointee Jennifer Rank
Summary
At its June 23 meeting, the Ocean View School District Board of Trustees administered the oath of office to provisional appointee Jennifer Rank, filling a vacancy left by Jack Souders; trustees welcomed Rank and posed a series of committee assignments.
The Ocean View School District Board of Trustees ceremonially administered the oath of office to Jennifer Rank at its June 23, 2026 meeting, filling a board vacancy created by the resignation of Jack Souders.
Vice President Patricia Singer led the oath and trustees and guests applauded as Rank completed the pledge. Trustee Westmoreland welcomed the new member, and board members invited Rank to serve on several subcommittees formerly held by the departing trustee.
"I'm really excited. I have a lot to learn," Rank said after the oath, and she asked colleagues to help mentor her as she assumes duties on the governing board.
The oath and photo opportunity were recorded during the meeting; the transcript shows two ceremonial oath sequences and board remarks welcoming the appointee. The agenda materials and comments noted the appointment follows the board's earlier selection process to fill the vacancy.
The meeting record does not specify the length of Rank's term or the date of any subsequent election to the seat; that information was listed in prior meeting materials but was not restated in the June 23 minutes.
Next steps: Rank will serve in the seat and participate in committee assignments the board filled that evening. The board also directed staff to incorporate her into regular governance duties and training materials.
