Top vote-getter sworn in as North Babylon trustee; two others to be sworn at July reorganization meeting
Summary
At the May 19 special meeting the board approved election results appointing Jeff Myers, Keisha Rivers and Karen Schmidt to trustee terms; the top vote-getter was sworn in that evening and the other two will be sworn at the July 7 reorganization meeting.
The North Babylon Union Free School District Board of Education approved election results for three trustee seats at a special meeting May 19 and administered the oath to the board member identified as the top vote-getter.
Chair (S1) moved to approve the election results appointing Jeff Myers to a term beginning 05/19/2026 through 06/30/2029 and appointing Keisha Rivers and Karen Schmidt to terms beginning 07/01/2026 through 06/30/2029. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor; the Chair declared the motion carried.
During the subsequent proceedings a participant addressed as "Mister Myers" recited the oath to "support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York" and to "faithfully discharge the duties of board of education trustee of the North Babylon Union Free School District." After the recitation Clerk (S3) said, "You have been sworn in." (Clerk (S3)).
A meeting participant (S2) clarified for viewers that the top vote-getter was sworn in effective that evening as the at-large candidate and that the other two trustees, Keisha Rivers and Karen Schmidt, will be sworn at the reorganization meeting on July 7, 2026.
Why it matters: The board composition changes when newly elected trustees assume office; the transcript records terms and timing but does not include vote totals for the trustee races other than the earlier reference to the board certification or additional biographical details about the trustees.
