Roxbury Village School Committee elects officers, adopts schedule and governance steps
Summary
The newly formed Roxbury Village School Committee elected officers, set a twice‑monthly meeting schedule to coordinate updates with the Selectboard, and agreed to complete Open Meeting Law and ethics training as it organizes subcommittees and communications.
Kristen Getler was elected chair of the Roxbury Village School Committee during the group’s inaugural meeting on May 6, 2026, as members approved a slate of officers and set a recurring meeting schedule.
The committee, formed to steward repurposing of the Roxbury Village School, voted unanimously to approve officers: Kristen Getler as chair, Heather Holter as vice‑chair and Heidi Albright as secretary. Tom Frazier moved the motion and Judy Lusk seconded; the vote was 6‑0‑0.
Members agreed to meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from 6–8 p.m. so minutes and a short update report can be posted to Tammy before Selectboard meetings. The group discussed designating a representative to attend Selectboard meetings, with Heather Holter named as a backup to the primary representative.
Committee members reviewed Open Meeting Law requirements and the ethics training required by their Selectboard charge. Heather Holter agreed to research how OML applies to subcommittees; Judy Lusk, Jim Rogler and Kristen Getler were identified as needing to complete the ethics training noted in the meeting materials.
Operational procedures discussed included distribution and safekeeping of key cards (issued to all committee members and the librarian), sorting and labeling of mechanical keys (assigned to Judy Lusk and Tom Frazier), and options to re‑key interior locks if needed. The committee also named Getler as its public spokesperson and designated Heidi Albright and Holter as backups for managing the committee email account. Members requested a printed meeting packet and a timekeeper at future meetings to keep discussions on schedule.
The committee tabled detailed decisions about subcommittee focus areas and membership for a future meeting and reviewed assigned action items before adjourning at 8:34 p.m.
