At the Board of Education reorganization meeting, members elected Roger Chu president and Kate Seltzer vice president by ballot. The board also swore in new members and completed routine organizational votes.
Roger Chu was elected president of the Collingswood Board of Education during the board's reorganization meeting, the board announced after ballots were read into the record.
Nominations for president included Roger Chu and Kelly Maya. Ballots were distributed and read aloud; the clerk read individual ballots and the presiding official declared, “Mr Chu you are elected President.” The transcript records multiple board members' ballot choices as they were read into the minutes.
The board followed the same process for vice president. Nominations included Kate Seltzer and Kelly Maya; the board read ballots and announced the vice president result as Kate Seltzer.
The elections came after the board read the certified results of the November election into the record and invited newly elected members forward to be sworn in. The reorganization meeting also included the superintendent's reading of the New Jersey Code of Ethics and several routine organizational approvals.
The leadership choices mean Roger Chu will preside over upcoming board agendas and represent the board in internal leadership duties; Kate Seltzer will serve as vice president.
