Committee opens nominations and elects new leadership; Peggy Thompson named vice chair
Summary
The school committee opened nominations for chair and vice chair; following roll-call votes the committee elected leadership and confirmed a new parliamentarian. Members praised outgoing leadership and emphasized public-facing communication ahead of the budget cycle.
The Quabbin Regional School District committee opened nominations for its leadership at the June 11 meeting and completed votes to fill several roles.
Chair nominations were opened and Dave Deschamps was nominated for chair. The committee left nominations open briefly for discussion and then conducted a roll-call vote. The committee then moved to nominations for vice chair; Peggy Thompson was nominated and received support in the roll-call process. Members offered remarks about representation and communication, and multiple members said either nominee would serve well.
Earlier in the meeting the committee moved to nominate Superintendent Guevara to serve as parliamentarian; that nomination was seconded and approved by roll call.
A roll call taken during the nominations and elections recorded committee members' votes for the nominees. Several members thanked outgoing leaders for years of service and emphasized the need for public-facing communication as the district moves into the budget season.
