Cameron Kirchhoff sworn in as business manager; board elects Nan Kelly president and Gail Swenson vice president; open-meetings review acknowledged
Summary
Cameron Kirchhoff was sworn in as business manager and presided over the annual meeting; trustees elected Nan Kelly president and Gail Swenson vice president, acknowledged conflicts of interest, and formally accepted the annual open-meetings review required by Senate Bill 74.
At the start of the meeting Cameron Kirchhoff was sworn in as the district's business manager and then presided over the annual organization portion of the board meeting. "I, Cameron Kirchhoff, having been appointed to the office of the business manager of the Sioux Falls School District 49-5, do solemnly swear..." he recited while taking the oath.
Under his administration of the oaths, Dawn Marie Johnson, Mark Murrin and Gail Swenson each subscribed to the board-member oath required by state law (SDCL 13-8-14) and signed the documents to assume their offices. The meeting then moved to organizational business: trustees nominated and elected Nan Kelly as president and Gail Swenson as vice president by voice votes following motions and seconds.
The board also acknowledged conflicts of interest for administrators and board members and approved the consent agenda items A–H. Later in the meeting, a staff member reviewed the annual open meetings-law guidance tied to Senate Bill 74 and SDCL guidance on official meetings, notice, agenda publication and public-comment periods. The board motioned to acknowledge the annual review and carried the motion by voice vote.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.
These procedural items complete the board's annual organization and compliance steps for the coming year.
