Board appoints two members and elects Ben Doberson as chair
Summary
The board appointed Erin Fink and Amber Ehlenberger to fill two vacant trustee seats, administered the oath of office, and then nominated and elected Ben Doberson as board chair; the transcript records the oath and the chair vote as 'motion carries.'
The Sidney School Board filled two vacant trustee seats and selected a new chair during the meeting.
Chair/staff summarized candidate rankings and recommended appointing Erin Fink and Amber Ehlenberger to the vacant board positions. After the recommendation, the oath of office was recited; the transcript records multiple participants repeating the oath language, and the new trustees acknowledged the oath. "I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States..." appears in the record as the oath was administered.
The board then moved to select leadership. Speaker 3 nominated Ben Doberson for board chair and the motion received a second; the roll-call-style "Aye" responses were recorded and the meeting chair announced the motion carries. Discussion included references to Mr. Doberson's remaining term length and gratitude for service from other trustees.
The transcript records congratulations to the newly appointed trustees and the announcement that the motion to elect Ben Doberson as chair carried; it does not include a formal roll-call tally with member names in the recorded excerpt.
The appointments and chair selection were conducted during the meeting's business agenda; the transcript indicates those actions were completed and the new chair assumed presiding duties for subsequent items.
