Philomath SD 17J re-elects chair, installs student representative Wyatt Cohen
Summary
The Philomath SD 17J board re-elected its chair and vice chair by voice vote and formally swore in student representative Wyatt Cohen. The board also set planning dates for a fall work session and previewed agenda items including a local option levy and facility planning.
The Philomath SD 17J board on July 1 re-elected its chair and vice chair and installed a new student representative.
Board Chair Tom announced the meeting at 7:00 p.m. and led a short procedural opening that included the Pledge of Allegiance, which was led by Wyatt Cohen after his formal oath of office. Aaron McMullen, nominated and later confirmed as vice chair, administered part of the swearing-in; Wyatt repeated the oath to assume the duties of student representative.
Later in the meeting the board accepted a nomination for Tom to continue as chair. There was a voice vote with four members in attendance recorded as voting in favor and one member absent; the motion carried. Aaron McMullen was then nominated and confirmed as vice chair by voice vote. Board members praised Tom’s prior year of service and signaled a willingness to continue the board’s current leadership team.
The chair and vice chair elections were procedural voice votes during the meeting’s organizational business and did not include a recorded roll-call vote in the transcript. The board also discussed planning a half-day work session in early September to set priorities for the year.
The board adjourned at 7:22 p.m.; members noted follow-up tasks including signing the consent documents in person later in the week.
