Parkrose Board elects Paul Tiburon Jr. as chair at organizational meeting

The Parkrose Board of Education elected Paul Tiburon Jr. as its 2026–27 board chair during the board’s organizational meeting on July 13, a meeting convened and led by the board’s presiding officer at 6:02 p.m.

Paul Tiburon Jr. was nominated from the floor and accepted the nomination; the board approved the appointment by voice vote with no opposition recorded. The board then considered nominations for vice chair, heard a nomination and an acceptance from the nominee, and again approved the appointment by voice vote. The transcript records inconsistent spellings of the vice-chair nominee (the nomination was introduced as "Josh Luck" and later recorded as "Joash Bullock"); the board approved the vice chair in that same voice vote.

Board members also approved the meeting agenda and later approved a consent agenda that bundled a series of routine administrative and fiscal resolutions, all by voice vote and with no opposed votes recorded. Those consent items included banking designations and administrative authorizations that the board’s chief financial officer, Sherry Lewis, presented earlier in the meeting.

The board did not take roll-call recorded votes on these organizational items; outcomes were announced by the presiding officer as approved. The meeting then proceeded to the consent-agenda presentation and other substantive items on the agenda.

The board adjourned at 7:07 p.m.; upcoming board events noted included a board retreat on Aug. 13 and a community shoe-drive volunteer event on Aug. 30 at the school gym.
