Crestwood School District board appoints Patrick Patty and names Nancy Robin secretary

The Crestwood School District Board of Education approved two appointments at a special meeting, appointing Patrick Patty to the school board and naming Nancy Robin as board secretary for a term that expires May 21, 2029.

A board member nominated Patrick Patty for the open seat; a roll call vote recorded eight yes votes and the motion carried, approving Patty’s appointment. The board then opened nominations for board secretary, nominated Nancy Robin for the position and again approved the nomination by an 8-0 roll call vote. Meeting attendees were told the secretary’s term is effective immediately and runs through May 21, 2029.

Board leadership noted the board had held executive sessions on Dec. 16 and Dec. 29 to discuss contracts, personnel actions and pending litigation before the public meeting. The board also reminded residents that public testimony is limited to three minutes and that written questions may be submitted to the district email by 4 p.m. on meeting days; no public comments were recorded on the appointments.

The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., to be held on the Secondary Campus. A motion to adjourn followed the votes and the meeting concluded.

Notes: The transcript records unanimous roll call approval by the eight members present; the meeting transcript contains several inconsistent spellings of some board members’ names, so this article summarizes vote results by the body rather than listing each member by name.
