Nick Devito elected and sworn in as Mount Sinai board president
Summary
At the Mount Sinai Union Free School District reorganization meeting, the board elected Nick Devito as president; he took the oath of office and the board also nominated an absent John N for vice president. Most actions were approved by voice vote; tallies were not recorded.
Nick Devito was elected and sworn in as president of the Mount Sinai Union Free School District Board of Education during the board's reorganization meeting. After a motion to nominate Devito and a second, the board approved the election by voice vote. Devito then recited the oath of office, repeating that he would "support the Constitution of the United States" and the "Constitution of the State of New York" and that he would "faithfully discharge the duties of board president."
The board also took nominations for vice president and moved to elect John N in absentia; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The minutes note John N was not present at the meeting. The transcript contains a brief inconsistent spelling of the president nominee earlier in proceedings (recorded once as "Nick Veto" before the corrected spelling "Nick Devito" appears during the oath).
The election and swearing-in were procedural items at the start of the reorganization meeting; no substantive debate or roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript for these actions. The board proceeded to routine agenda items after the oath.
